  • Patent number: 6380813
    Abstract: The frequency-characteristic switchable buffer circuit includes an amplifying stage, a parallel resonance circuit which serves as an output load of the amplifying stage, a frequency trap circuit electrically connected between the input of the amplifying stage and a reference potential point, and a frequency switching voltage generator for selectively generating a first switching voltage or a second switching voltage. The parallel resonance circuit parallel-resonates at a first frequency when the first switching voltage is supplied thereto. When the second switching voltage is supplied thereto, the parallel resonance circuit parallel-resonates at a second frequency. The frequency trap circuit comprises a series circuit made up of a diode and a capacitor. When the first switching voltage is supplied to the frequency trap circuit, the frequency trap circuit series-resonates at a frequency lower than the first frequency.

  • Patent number: 4721927
    Abstract: A voltage-controlled-oscillator with a modulator, comprising a first variable capacitance diode and a second variable capacitance diode. The first variable capacitance diode is connected in series with the second variable capacitance diode to form a resonance device, wherein capacitance of the first variable capacitance diode is controlled by applying a reverse bias voltage and an oscillation frequency control voltage to both ends of the first variable capacitance diode, and capacitance of the second variable capacitance diode is controlled in a reverse direction to changes in the capacitance of the first variable capacitance diode with respect to the oscillation frequency control voltage by applying the oscillation frequency control voltage and a modulation signal to both ends of the second variable capacitance diode to thereby provide a frequency modulated wave.
