Voltage controlled oscillator and electronic apparatus using same

摘要

A voltage controlled oscillator is provided which oscillates in a stable manner at a high frequency and obtains a large variable range of frequency. The oscillator includes a transistor, and distributed-constant line connected to the base of the transistor. The distributed-constant line has substantially 1/4 wavelength at the oscillation frequency of the oscillator, and has one open end. An inductance element is provided comprising a capacitor having a self-resonance frequency which is lower than the oscillation frequency. This inductance element is connected to the collector of the transistor. A varactor diode is connected to the capacitor.
