A closed loop linearizer method and apparatus for providing a linear ramp modulation for a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). A counter is connected to the VCO for calculating two frequency values of the oscillator at one or more time points during a ramp interval. The difference of the two frequency values is then compared with that of a predetermined ideal difference frequency value. A resulting correction value is then generated and used to adjust digital control values upward and downward, thereby causing the VCO to produce a linear modulation ramp output slope over time.
