Abstract:
1. A voltage-controlled oscillator module, comprising: an active-circuit arrangement facilitating generation of an oscillating signal and having first and second principal nodes, and utilizing first and second amplifying elements, each with first and second main terminals and a control terminal, wherein the first principal node is coupled to the first main terminal of the first amplifying element and the second principal node is coupled to the first main terminal of the second amplifying element; a resonator arrangement having a first resonator node and a second resonator node, wherein the first resonator node is capacitively coupled to the first principal node, the second resonator node is capacitively coupled to the second principal node, and the first and second principal nodes are AC but not DC coupled to the first and second resonator nodes, respectively; and wherein the control terminal of the first amplifying element is AC and DC coupled to the second resonator node and the control terminal of the second amplifying element is AC and DC coupled to the first resonator node.
