  • the varactors 112 may operate as voltage controlled capacitors.
  • the inductor hi 102 may further be electrically coupled to a pair of coarse tuning capacitors: a coarse tuning capacitor C 3 114 and a coarse tuning capacitor C 4 116 (referred to hereinafter as "coarse capacitors").
  • the combination of hi 102, Ci 104, C 2 106, and the varactors 112 may also be referred to herein as a "tank circuit,” “tank” or “LC circuit” 110 (indicated in dashed lines).
  • the tank 110 can act as an electrical resonator, storing energy oscillating at a characteristic resonant frequency of the circuit.
  • V gs gate-to-source voltage
  • the respective transconductance increases.
  • V gs the source-to-drain conductive channel is opened in the MOS devices 202
  • thermal noise may also increase.
  • Increased V gs may result in increased noise. This produces a similar effect as the resistors 122.
  • Increased transconductance can also decrease the impedance of the MOS device 202 from source to drain, further increasing noise.
  • the impedance may increase into the range of mega ohms ( ⁇ ) under such circumstances.

  • the band control 510 may be set such that the V gs of the MOS devices 204 is maintained below the V ⁇ .
  • the maximum V gs attained is approximately 0.24V, Or 240 millivolts (mV), as shown.
