OSCILLATEUR COMMANDE PAR UNE TENSION, DOUBLEUR DE FREQUENCE.

摘要

A frequency-doubling voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) for use in the microwave frequency range has two channels which operate in parallel. A transistor is mounted as an oscillating system in each channel and its energy is collected on the drain electrode. The two transistors are mounted with their output currents in opposite phase, thus reducing FM noise in the vicinity of the carrier. In accordance with the invention, phase opposition is obtained by means of a varactor connected between the gates of the two transistors. The varactor is decoupled in direct current by means of two capacitors. In order to increase the range of frequencies, two additional varactors can be mounted in like manner on the source circuits of the two transistors.
