Highly-linear signal-modulated voltage controlled oscillator
A VCO system embodying the features of the present invention includes a frequency tuning circuit, a modulation circuit coupled in a parallel fashion with the frequency tuning circuit, a band tuning circuit coupled with the frequency tuning circuit in a parallel fashion having at least one switching circuit, a core circuit coupled with the frequency tuning circuit, the modulation circuit, and the band tuning circuit, wherein upon asserting a switching signal and upon adjusting a frequency turning signal, a frequency tuning bias signal, and a band tuning signal, the switching circuit is enabled for configuring the band tuning circuit to join the frequency tuning circuit for adjusting a predetermined output frequency based on a total inductance and a total capacitance provided by the core circuit, the frequency tuning circuit, the modulation circuit and the band tuning circuit.
