Telecommunication, satellite links and set-top boxes allrequire tuning a high frequency Oscillator. The actualtuning element is a varactor diode, a 2-terminal device thatchanges capacitance as a function of reverse bias voltage.1 The Oscillator is part of a frequency synthesizingloop, as detailed in Figure 1. A phase locked loop (PLL)compares a divided down representation of the Oscillatorwith a frequency reference. The PLL’s output is levelshifted to provide the high voltage necessary to bias thevaractor, which closes a feedback loop by voltage tuningthe Oscillator. This loop forces the voltage controlledOscillator (VCO) to operate at a frequency determined bythe frequency reference and the divider’s division ratio.
