Problems solved by technology

[0004] One of the common problems is that in the process of manufacturing voltage-controlled oscillators, often due to material limitations or difficulties in process control, the output frequency deviation or phase noise of the voltage-controlled oscillator will deteriorate during the production process. result
However, since the oscillator has been assembled at this time, how to effectively control the manufacturing yield of the voltage-controlled oscillator becomes a big challenge
[0005] Another common problem is that as electronic devices become more and more compact, the design of the entire circuit board is also required to be integrated. Therefore, how to effectively use every space on the circuit board has become a goal to be pursued
[0006] Moreover, there are now more and more high-frequency products, such as wireless phones or wireless networks, etc., with the current surface mount components, because the electrode terminals are parasitic to high-frequency discontinuous stray effects, so for high-frequency The characteristics of the

Abstract

A voltage controlled oscillator on circuit board that can adjust phase noises and frequency output range. It comprises resonant circuit, coupled circuit and oscillating circuit. The coupled circuit and resonant circuit each have tunable microstrip capacitor. Makes patterning for two conducting layer on the circuit board to form the lapped microstrip and places an insulation layer between the two conducting layer to build the tunable microstrip capacitor, then uses laser cutting the tunable microstrip capacitor from different direction to change its capacitance and make the capacitor presenting inductive character, and further to reach the purpose fine tuning the output frequency of the voltage controlled oscillator and phase noses.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a voltage controlled oscillator, and more particularly to an electronic device having a voltage controlled oscillator capable of fine-tuning the output frequency range during the manufacturing process. Background technique [0002] Regardless of whether it is an analog circuit or a digital circuit, oscillators are widely used in today's circuit design to realize various signal processing or communication functions. A voltage-controlled oscillator (Voltage Control Oscillator) is an important component used to generate an oscillating signal. The working principle of the voltage-controlled oscillator is that it can output different oscillation frequencies by inputting different reference voltages. [0003] Although the development of voltage-controlled oscillators has a long history, with the continuous improvement of the quality requirements of modern electronic equipment for oscillators, the design of voltage-controlled...
