A voltage controlled oscillator incorporating voltage tunable capacitors, comprising at least one resonator coupled into a base circuit of a bipolar transistor, said at least one resonator including at least one voltage tunable capacitor. The bipolar transistor includes a collector which terminates in a radial micro strip stub and an emitter which produces an output via an impedance matching circuit. Also, included is an integral switch mode power supply providing power to said base circuit via a first power supply filter, and to a controller via a second power supply filter. The controller scales the user-selected control voltage range to the levels required by said voltage tunable capacitors associated with said at least one resonator. A synthesizer incorporating voltage tunable capacitors, comprising at least one resonator coupled into a base circuit of a bipolar transistor, the at least one resonator including at least one voltage tunable capacitor; the bipolar transistor including a collect which terminates in a radial micro strip stub and an emitter which produces an output via an impedance matching circuit, a buffer amplifier and an RF filter; a frequency divider, programmable phase locked loop and loop filter receiving the output of the FR filter and providing the input to a controller; an integral switch mode power supply providing power to the base circuit via a first power supply filter, and the controller via a second power supply filter. As above, the controller scales the user-selected control voltage range to the levels required. |
