Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a frequency synthesizer where a wide frequency band is secured and the phase noise due to an influence of the noise passing round from the control voltage line of a VCO is reduced. CONSTITUTION:When a control part 5 turns on a switch 25 in accordance with a requested frequency, a capacitor 24 constitutes the capacitance component of a VCO 2; and when the control part 5 turns off the switch 25 in accordance with the requested frequency, the capacitor 24 is disconnected from the VCO 2. Since the capacitance component of the VCO 2 is changed independently of the control due to a control voltage Vapc in this manner, a wide-band frequency is oscillated even if the variation of the oscillation frequency due to the change of the control voltage Vapc is small.
