Voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) are pivotal components in modern communications and signal processing, where their ability to generate a stable yet tunable signal is paramount. The performance ...

Designed to control the frequency of crystal oscillator circuits, the 3022 series of high-ratio, hyperabrupt varactor tuning diodes is designed to deliver a dc bias control voltage from -0.3V to -4V.

Sine-wave oscillators such as the Wien-bridge, state-variable, or quadrature oscillators, have an inherently undefined amplitude. Ideally, the poles of their feedback loop are on the jω-axis and the ...

Researchers have modeled how the combination of a virtual oscillator control mechanism and a cascaded sliding mode control can help regulate voltage and frequency in a distributed-solar microgrid.

Last session, we use the cheap and cheerful 4046 Phase-locked Loop chip as a simple voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO). It was dead simple, in fact, because the chip has a VCO already built in. There ...

AN article on this subject by I.E. Fair (Bell Lab. Rec., £\ 21, No. 8; April, 1943) points out that stability is one of the major requirements for oscillators controlling the frequency of radio ...
