Abstract

PURPOSE:To decrease the deterioration in the temperature characteristic of an oscillating frequency due to that of a varactor diode by providing an expanding coil connecting in series with a piezoelectric element and a current control circuit supplying a control current to the expanding coil. CONSTITUTION:A current control circuit 9 is used in place of using a voltage control circuit or a varactor diode and its output is supplied to an expansion coil 8 as a control current via resistors 6, 7. That is, when the inductance of the expansion coil 8 is increased, the oscillating frequency is decreased in inverse proportion thereto, while the inductance of the expansion coil 8 varies with a DC superimposed current. Then a control current is supplied to the expansion coil 8 from the current control circuit 9 to vary the oscillating frequency without use of the varactor diode. Thus, the deterioration in the temperature characteristic due to the temperature characteristic of the varactor diode is eliminated.
