System and method for tuning an oscillator

摘要

A voltage-controlled oscillator includes a resonator circuit and a voltage source. The resonator circuit includes a capacitive circuit that has a plurality of analog voltage controlled capacitive elements coupled to one another. The voltage source is coupled to the resonator circuit and provides a voltage to the plurality of analog voltage controlled capacitive elements. Each of the plurality of analog voltage controlled capacitive elements is activated as a function of the voltage thereby increasing linearity of a frequency tuning voltage parameter of the resonator.
