    Abstract: A programmable sinusoidal oscillator circuit is a sinusoidal oscillator circuit that includes a current-feedback operational-amplifier (CFOA) operably connected to two operational transconductance amplifiers (OTAs), two capacitors and a resistor. The programmable sinusoidal oscillator circuit enjoys electronic orthogonal tuning of the frequency and the condition of oscillation by adjusting the biasing currents (voltages) of the OTAs, as well as providing a low output impedance.

    Abstract: A wideband Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) uses a resonant circuit tunable over a wide range of resonant frequencies. The resonant circuit includes voltage variable elements such that the resonant frequency, and thus the frequency of oscillation, may be electronically tuned. The voltage variable elements are arranged such that multiple control voltages determine the resonant frequency. A first control voltage is applied to a first set of tuning elements and operates as a coarse control of the resonant frequency. A second control voltage is applied to a second set of tuning elements and operates as a fine control of the resonant frequency. Using multiple control voltages on multiple elements allows for a wideband VCO while maintaining a low VCO gain.

    Abstract: An oscillating signal generator for generating an oscillating signal having a variable oscillation frequency that can be near the unity gain frequency of the gain devices within the oscillating signal generator (Generation of High-Frequency Oscillating Signal Techniques, "GHOST"). Two gain stages, each with a respective effective resistance R.sub.eff, an emitter load capacitance C.sub.E, and a respective gain device having a unity gain frequency .omega..sub.T, are cascaded and configured to provide a respective gain with a phase at substantially 180.degree.. In that case, the oscillation frequency, of the oscillating signal generated by the oscillating signal generator of the present invention, .omega.=�.omega..sub.T /(R.sub.eff C.sub.E)!.sup.1/2. A feedback with a feedback gain is provided between the output to the input of the cascade of the two gain stages. The feedback gain is designed such that a product of the feedback gain and the gain through the cascade of the two gain stages is substantially one. The oscillation frequency of the oscillating signal generated by the oscillator can be varied by a corresponding variation to .omega..sub.T and/or R.sub.eff. Alternatively, the oscillation frequency can be substantially fixed at a predetermined resonance frequency determined by a frequency determining network operatively connected to the cascade of the two gain stages. The oscillating signal generator of the present invention which can generate sine waves can be implemented with circuit elements that are easily fabricated on-chip within a monolithic integrated circuit. In addition, because oscillation frequencies near the unity gain frequency of the gain devices can be achieved, higher frequencies for a given power dissipation or lower power dissipation for a given frequency can be obtained.

    Abstract: A frequency multiplier circuit generates an supplemental high-frequency timing signal from a single, low-frequency current-controlled oscillator (CCO). The current-controlled oscillator (CCO) generates a controlled discharge current and a controlled bias current which are controlled in parallel to substantially eliminate inaccuracies in a characteristic frequency-current curve of the current-controlled oscillator. The frequency multiplier circuit generates a high-frequency timing signal using the digitally-controlled CCO and avoids the usage of a phase-locked loop (PLL) technique. Specifically, a frequency multiplier includes a current-controlled oscillator having a plurality of input lines connected to receive a digital current select signal and having an output terminal connected to carry a timing signal at a current-controlled oscillator frequency f.sub.CCO set in accordance with the current select signal. The frequency multiplier further includes a control circuit having a first timing input terminal connected to the current-controlled oscillator output terminal to receive the current-controlled oscillator frequency f.sub.CCO, output lines connected to the current-controlled oscillator digital current select input lines, a second timing input terminal connected to receive a timing signal at a reference frequency f.sub.REF, and a plurality of input lines connected to receive a programmable frequency multiplication factor.
