Abstract

A differential gain characteristic can be equivalently improved by providing a compensation circuit. The compensation circuit compensates a differential gain of a voltage-controlled oscillator, of which oscillating frequency is controlled by a control voltage. The compensation circuit comprises a first resistor which is connected to an input side of the voltage-controlled oscillator in series and a series circuit of a second resistor and a first diode, which is connected to the input side of the voltage-controlled oscillator in parallel, and further a first bias electric source for giving a bias voltage to the first diode in a forward direction. It becomes possible to make DG to be less than 5%, even if a modulator having a larger slope of characteristic, such as DG<50%.
