  • Variable inductance circuitry for frequency control of a voltage countrolled oscillator
    Patent number: 8115557
    Abstract: An electronic device is made from a first substrate with device circuitry including an inductor and a second substrate with inductance adjustment circuitry including a number of other inductors. The substrates are assembled together to be opposite one another. The other inductors are arranged to provide a selection of different mutual inductance relationships relative to the inductor. These relationships are selectable during operation of the device to provide a variable inductance in the device circuitry.
    Type: Grant

  • VARIABLE INDUCTANCE CIRCUITRY FOR FREQUENCY CONTROL OF A VOLTAGE COUNTROLLED OSCILLATOR
    Publication number: 20100148882
    Abstract: An electronic device (2) is made from a first substrate (22) with device circuitry (32) including an inductor (42) and a second substrate (24) with inductance adjustment circuitry (60) including a number of other inductors (62). The substrates (22, 24) are assembled together to be opposite one another. The other inductors (62) are arranged to provide a selection of different mutual inductance relationships relative to the inductor (42). These relationships are selectable during operation of the device to provide a variable inductance in the device circuitry (32).
