CONTROLLED MUTING AND POWER RAMPING OF A VOLTAGE-CONTROLLED OSCILLATOR
摘要
Systems and methods are provided in which a voltage-controlled oscillator for a radio transmitter includes a LC tank circuit, and a muting circuit. The LC tank circuit includes an inductive element and a capacitive element; wherein the inductive element of the LC tank circuit includes the antenna of the transmitter. The muting circuit can include a variable resistor connected in parallel with the LC tank circuit.
