Title: HELP!!! About switched (coarse) tuning VCO Post by gggould on May 13th, 2004, 3:07pm Hi all, I am designing a VCO with band select function (by switching in/out caps). But now I meet a problem about Kv linearity… When the vco operates in lower bands, the Kv is kind of linear over the whole tuning range. But when I switched out caps to let the VCO operate at higher bands, the Kv becomes depending on Vtune and gradually flat out as the Vtune increase. (The curve looks like Transistor I-V curve). Those curves look exactly like Fig.13 pp.1392 in IEEEJSSC Volume: 23 , Issue: 6 , Dec. 1988 Please, could someone give me a hint or tell me any useful paper? Thanks so much… |
