In a spin-torque oscillator, a first ferromagnetic layer, a non-magnetic layer and a second ferromagnetic layer are stacked. A pair of electrodes perpendicularly applies a current onto each plane of the first ferromagnetic layer, the non-magnetic layer and the second ferromagnetic layer. The current induces a precession of a magnetization of at least one of the first ferromagnetic layer and the second ferromagnetic layer. The at least one of the first ferromagnetic layer and the second ferromagnetic layer is formed by an in-plane magnetization film having a uniaxial magnetic anisotropy. A magnetic field generator generates a magnetic field to control a direction of the magnetization so that a non-linearity frequency shift of the precession by the uniaxial magnetic anisotropy cancels a non-linearity frequency shift of the precession by a demagnetizing field on the in-plane magnetization film.

According to one embodiment, magnetization directions of a magnetic free layer and a magnetic pinned layer are parallel to junction planes between the magnetic free layer and a spacer layer and between the magnetic pinned layer and the spacer layer. The magnetic free layer has a uniaxial magnetic anisotropy, and generates a magnetization oscillation when a current larger than an oscillation threshold current flows through the magnetic free layer. A magnetic field generator controls a magnitude and a direction of an external magnetic field to cancel a shift amount of an oscillation frequency caused by a diamagnetic field due to the magnetization oscillation and a shift amount of the oscillation frequency caused by a magnetic field due to the uniaxial magnetic anisotropy.
