Articles on Oscillators

This Article goes over the Design of a Clapp oscillator, using a varactor tuned ceramic coaxial resonator for voltage control of the output frequency. The frequency under consideration will be around 1.4 GHz. Includes some Small & Large Signal Design Techniques.

This Design Note explains a practical technique that can be used to reduce power supply noise in VCOs.

This technical note from Mini Circuits goes over VCO concepts. Topics include: Oscillator fundamentles, example oscillator designs and tuning sensitivity characteristics.
