A correction circuit is connected to the oscillating circuit and includes a first amplifier and a differential amplifier. The first amplifier receives an external gain variation command and generates a differential output signal that includes a control voltage and a bias voltage. The differential amplifier receives the alternating differential signal and generates a differential modulation signal. A variable gain mixer receives an input differential signal and generates an amplified differential signal as a function of the differential modulation signal and the control voltage.
