ABSTRACT:
A voltage-controlled oscillator having an inductor circuit, n pieces (n is two or more) of variable capacitance circuit having variable capacitance elements, negative resistance circuits, and reference voltage generation means of generating a reference voltage from a power supply voltage, and wherein a predetermined reference voltage is inputted to some terminals of the variable capacitance elements of the n pieces of variable capacitance circuit, a control voltage is inputted to the other terminals thereof, and of the variable capacitance elements of the n pieces of variable capacitance circuits, the predetermined reference voltage inputted to some terminals of the variable capacitance elements of at least two pieces of the variable capacitance circuit is different.
