<p>The present invention provides an oscillator such as a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) that can supply more stable frequency signals in the presence of strong magnetic coupling caused by external magnetic perturbations. According to one embodiment of the invention, an oscillator is presented and comprises an amplifier and an LC circuit connected to the amplifier. In the LC circuit, a first pair of inductors includes first and second inductors and a second pair of inductors includes third and fourth inductors. The first and second pairs are arranged such that the first and fourth inductors are on a first side and the second and third inductors are on a second side. In one arrangement, the inductors are positioned such that a center between the first and second inductors substantially overlap a center between the third and fourth inductors. Thus, it is possible to make the two pairs of inductors look symmetrical to the external perturbation generator without regard to the relative position of the perturbation generator. As a result, distortions in the output frequency signals of the oscillator are minimized.</p> |
