To avoid intermodulation interferences, a varactor diode alternative circuit has at least three varactor diodes connected in series alternatingly opposite to one another and a resistor and/or inductor network. At each of the varactor diodes, a control voltage supplied to the circuit for adjusting capacitance is at least approximately at full extent. An alternating voltage applied at the series connection, which is at a higher frequency than the control voltage, is distributed at least approximately uniformly to the varacter diodes. Even for an at least not substantially larger tuning voltage than the amplitude of a signal voltage to be processed in the oscillator circuit that has the alternative circuit, reactions of the signal voltage on the set capacitance of the varactor diode alternative circuit remain negligible, or at least low. The circuit may be used in an electrical, e.g., battery-operated, unit in which only one small operating voltage is available.
