Abstract
A voltage-controlled oscillator and a method for tuning oscillations. The oscillator comprises a resonator input connected to an oscillator core and a frequency tuning network. The oscillator core and resonator input are isolated from the frequency tuning network by inductors. The method comprises generating oscillations, tuning the frequency of the oscillations by varying a capacitance, and isolating one or more of noise sources or parasitic capacitances from the tuning network.
