Oscillator circuit, corresponding radar sensor, vehicle and method of operation
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a tunable resonant circuit including an inductance directly electrically connected in series between first and second nodes, a variable capacitance directly electrically connected between the first and second nodes, and a set of switched capacitances coupled between the first and second nodes. The set of switched capacitances includes a plurality of capacitance units, each capacitance unit comprising a first capacitance for that capacitance unit directly electrically connected between the first node and a switch and a second capacitance for the capacitance unit directly electrically connected between the switch and the second node. Control circuitry is configured to receive an input control signal and connected to control the switches of the set of switched capacitances. A biasing circuit is directly electrically connected to the tunable resonance circuit at the first and second nodes.
