A Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) with the ability to tune its operating frequency over a wide range using a limited control voltage range. The VCO implements a novel resonant circuit that provides the wide frequency tuning range and simultaneously provides increased immunity to induced low frequency noise. The resonant circuit utilizes an element configuration that includes high pass filters (402, 422 and 404, 424) on each input to the resonant circuit. Varactor diodes (432, 434) are used to couple a conventional tuning circuit to the remainder of the resonant circuit. This configuration allows the resonant frequency to tune over a wide range using a limited control voltage range. |
