Abstract
A low noise two port voltage controlled oscillator having a coarse tuning circuit serially connected to an inductor to form a resonant circuit. A fine tuning circuit is serially connected between the resonant circuit and the input to the amplifier. A large capacitance series silicon varactor minimizes noise at the frequency of operation while optimizing the coarse tuning range.
