Abstract
A voltage controlled oscillator circuit including an oscillator circuit having first and second terminals to which an external inductance is connected. A frequency control voltage (V.sub.F) is applied through a bias circuit to the second terminal for varying the center frequency. The oscillator circuit may have an AGC circuit or a modulation circuit connected to it. An output amplifier is connected with the first terminal and has an adjustable output impedance for matching the input impedance of a load circuit.
