ABSTRACT:
A controlled oscillator comprising a delay chain having a plurality of series coupled delay lines, the output of the delay chain being fed back as an input to each of the delay lines. Each delay line comprising an invertor such that the delay imparted by the invertor is controlled by a voltage controlled resistance means. The length of the delay chain is controlled by a selection control means which in turn controls the frequency range of operation of the oscillator.
