Electronically Tunable Oscillator Utilizing Reinforced Controllable Parameters

This paper presents a novel solution of an oscillator with electronically adjustable oscillation condition (CO) and frequency of oscillations (FO). Oscillation condition is controlled by current gain and frequency of oscillations is adjustable by transconductance and intrinsic resistance of used active elements. Both CO and FO are mutually independent. Moreover, special feature of CO allows boosting parameter driving FO (transconductance) and then shifting the whole FO range to higher bands. It allows to keep values of passive elements (capacitors especially) in satisfactory range even for higher value of FO. Simulations in PSpice confirms this hypothesis.
