Abstract
The invention relates to a method for tuning an adjustable oscillator, in which oscillator at least one resonance circuit is used. The frequency of the oscillator is adjusted by changing the resonance frequency of the at least one resonance circuit by means of a control signal for which a minimum value and a maximum value are selected. In the method at least one target value is selected for the control signal, the frequency of the adjustable oscillator is adjusted to substantially correspond to the target value and the value of the control signal and the target value are compared. When the value of the control signal is substantially different from the target value, a tuning signal is produced to change the resonance frequency of the at least one resonance circuit.
