Low-noise voltage controlled oscillator

摘要

A low-noise voltage controlled oscillator is provided, to improve a phase noise characteristic and widen a frequency variable range. The low-noise voltage controlled oscillator is configured so that an oscillation element and a capacitor 2 are connected in series between a collector C and an emitter E of a transistor 1, capacitors 3 and 4 are connected in series between the collector C and the emitter E, an electrical potential between the capacitors 3 and 4 is applied to a base B of the transistor 1; a one-port circuit 6 is provided between the collector C and the capacitor 4; and a capacitor for correction 5 is connected in parallel with the capacitors 3 and 4. The one-port circuit 6 includes a tuned circuit provided with a variable capacitor adjusting a capacity thereof smaller and an inductor adjusting a value of inductance larger so as to set a value of impedance relatively large.
