ABSTRACT:
A voltage controlled oscillator includes a main varactor diode coupled to a frequency resonating circuit to produce an output frequency in response to a control voltage. A secondary varactor diode of an appreciably lower voltage to frequency sensitivity ratio is coupled to the main varactor diode. A modulation input circuit is coupled to the secondary varactor diode to enable modulation of the resonating output frequency. A linearizing circuit is coupled to the secondary varactor diode and tracks the main varactor diode capacitance to continuously adjust the bias voltage of the secondary varactor diode to provide constant carrier modulation deviation.
