摘要:
A voltage controlled oscillator for use in a phase locked loop is provided with a first varactor circuit that responds to a control signal to set the center frequency of the oscillator, and with a second varactor circuit comprising a modulation varactor that responds to a modulation signal to cause the oscillator to produce a modulated output. The modulation sensitivity of the oscillator is made relatively constant between upper and lower center frequencies by applying a portion of the modulation signal to the first varactor circuit in addition to the control signal.

A microwave resonant cavity modulator including an input modulation signal probe with means for adjusting the electrical characteristics of said probe for improving modulation sensitivity and linearity over a relatively wide frequency range.
摘要:
A pullable overtone crystal oscillator (201) includes an impedance buffer (217) for buffering an input impedance (109) to an amplifier stage (203). This structure enables construction of an overtone oscillator with increased pullability because a drive level of a crystal (221) can be set independent of the input impedance (109) of the amplifier stage (203).
摘要:
A voltage controlled oscillator (VCO 10) is disclosed in a "ring" configuration using two FETs. Two isolated voltage control terminals provide increased tuning bandwidth. The design uses an active feedback topology resulting in greater device size for higher output power and circuit Q.
摘要:
An improved reflection type phase modulator having reduced temperature sensitivity and reduced distortion includes two three-port circulators coupled to form a four-port circulator. A first port is connected to a first phase modulator and a second port is coupled by means of a quarter wavelength transmission line to a second phase modulator, the transmission line being resonant at an applied unmodulated carrier frequency. The first and second phase modulators are coupled to receive a modulation signal. A third port of the circulator is coupled to receive the applied unmodulated carrier frequency and the fourth port provides a signal at the unmodulated carrier frequency which is phase modulated in response to the modulation signal.
