Abstract
The capacitance of the capacitor with the constant capacitance is equivalently reduced in the capacitance of a resonant capacitor in a voltage control oscillator to increase the variable amount of the capacitance of the resonant capacitor, and to expand an oscillation frequency range. There are provided a differential negative conductance generator circuit having two resonation nodes for differential output, a differential resonant circuit having a variable capacitance that is controlled by voltage control and an inductance connected in parallel to each other, and a differential negative impedance circuit. A resonant circuit and a negative impedance circuit are connected between the resonation nodes. The capacitor with the constant capacitance that occurs between the resonation nodes is reduced by the negative impedance of the negative impedance circuit. The capacitor with the constant capacitance is represented by floating capacitors that occur between one of the resonation nodes and a ground potential and between the other resonation node and the ground potential, respectively.
