Abstract
An oscillator includes an oscillating circuit for generating an output signal having an output signal frequency. The oscillating circuit includes an inductive element and a capacitive element, the capacitive element having a variable capacitance for coarsely tuning the output signal frequency. The oscillator further includes a current supply for supplying current to the oscillating circuit, the current supply being variable for finely tuning the output signal frequency.
