Description of the Invention (~~) ~ 'Technical Field The present invention relates to a voltage controlled oscillator and more specifically to a device for linearizing the frequency response of such an oscillator. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION A Bluetooth (R) transmitter can operate on a frequency band between 2402 and 2480 GHz and the same 1 MHz channel. A synthesizer can be used to select the frequency. The composite includes a voltage-controlled oscillator (vc0) that generates a radio frequency signal. This radio frequency is then divided and phase locked to a reference frequency by a so-called phase-locked loop (pLL). To modulate the signal in transmission, a simple method is to turn on pLL and introduce a minor key, the 'I: 彳 § number directly enters vc0, which has been previously set near the Dc voltage, to operate at a correct core frequency. The modulation method in the Monitor Tooth® transmitter is a two-level frequency modulation with a frequency deviation of 14 (M75 kHz, that is, "1" represents a frequency higher than the center frequency of 175 kHz, and "" represents a corresponding comparison Low frequency. Therefore, the target setting is 100 MHz / V conversion gain and VCO 160 kHz frequency deviation. The modulation AC voltage to VC0 should be ι · 6 mV. As for the figure, Figure 1 is connected to a known voltage control The known amplifier of the oscillator is a simplified circuit diagram of an example of a known vibration circuit (not shown in the figure). The resonance frequency of the resonance circuit shown in Figure 1 can determine the frequency of the oscillator and is added to the input terminal of the resonance circuit. The input control voltage of 1 is tuned. Input terminal 1 is connected to the interconnection point between the two varactor diodes 2 and 3. The two resistors R are across the varactor diodes 2 and 3. Connected in series. The interconnection point between the resistors R is connected to the ground through a resistor Ri, and -4-This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X 297 mm) 522653 A7 B7 V.

Department is obvious. The frequency response of the spectral vibration circuit in Figure 1 is not linear. As shown in Figure 3, the VCO gain of the weave can be obtained by the frequency of the input voltage, that is, the voltage-to-frequency conversion factor. Figure 4 shows vc◦ increasing as a function of the input house Vin. The frequency deviation of the vibrator is directly proportional to the VCO gain. It is shown from Fig. 4 that the VCOig and VCOig-lean Kvc〇i series are completely determined by the input voltage Vin, that is, the frequency deviation is determined by the degree of channel dependence. The lowest frequency in the Bluetooth® band is 2 402 GHz. The carrier is set to 2.402 GHz. As shown in Figure 3, the required input voltage is 075 v. The other band edges are at 2 corresponding to the input voltage of 1.81 V. At 48oGHz. From Figure 4, the VC0 gain at the edge of the band can be obtained. It is 疋 62 and MHz / V at 2.402 and 2480 GHz, respectively. The optimal amplitude of the modulation signal v_ after the voltage divider Ri, then is 2.17 mV. This situation can cause frequency deviations of 135 and 185 kHz at 2.402 and 2.480 GHz, respectively. Channel reliability is therefore 50 kHz. This means that the rejection of the resulting circuit is high and therefore the yield is low. Therefore, the VCO needs to make its frequency directly proportional to the input voltage to all input voltages. This can provide a constant derivative and, therefore, a constant VC0 gain without frequency deviation in the channel dependence. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to generate such V C 0. This is achieved according to the invention by connecting a fixed capacitive element in parallel with a voltage variable capacitive element. Therefore, the voltage variable capacitive element is linearized.

Description of the invention (5) Figure 7 illustrates the frequency of the resonant circuit of Figure 5 ^ [^ is a function of the input control voltage Vin. The frequency response of the resonant circuit in FIG. 5 is more linear than the frequency response of the resonant circuit in FIG. 1 because the comparison between FIG. 7 and FIG. 3 is obvious. In order to set the carrier wave to 2.402 GHz of the linearized VCO of the present invention as shown in FIG. 5, it is obvious from FIG. 7 that the required input voltage is 102 V. According to Figure 7, 2.480 GHz can meet the input voltage of 1.79 V. From Fig. 8, the VCO gain at the edge of the band can then be obtained. At 2.402 and 2.480 GHz, the VCO gain is 100 MHz / V with a peak value of 102 MHz / V in between. At the heart of the voltage divider, the ideal amplitude of the later modulated signal VmcKi is 1.57 mV. This situation can cause a frequency deviation that varies between 157 and 160 kHz in the 2.402 to 2.480 GHz band. Therefore, channel dependency can be reduced to only 3 kHz for this example. As mentioned above with respect to FIG. 4, the frequency dependence of the frequency deviation is as high as 50 kHz of the known resonant circuit of FIG. With the linearization device of the present invention, the frequency dependency of the frequency deviation can be reduced to less than 5 kHz. Of course, this can significantly improve yield. Even though the invention has been described in relation to the "blue tooth" patent application, it is understood that it is not limited to this patent. -8-This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm)
