  • Patent number: 6417740
    Abstract: A variable frequency signal generator, in the form of a voltage controlled oscillator, provides wide-band and/or multi-band output frequency operation using two control voltage inputs. A pair of LC oscillator circuits are cross-coupled through a transconductance control circuit. The oscillator circuits provide quadrature output frequency signals. The oscillator circuits include MOSFET varactors controllable by a first control voltage which can be used to drive the varactors into inversion or depletion operating modes which correspond to respective output signal frequency bands. A second control voltage is provided to the transconductance control circuit to control currents injected from each oscillator to the other, thereby selecting a particular output frequency within the range of the frequency band determined by the first control voltage.
