Abstract:
A first tuning circuit tunes an oscillation frequency by changing, based on a first control signal, capacitance values of variable capacitive elements connected in parallel to an inductor. A second tuning circuit switches capacitive elements in and out of parallel connection with the inductor by turning on and off a transistor based on a second control signal, to thereby tune the oscillation frequency. A switching circuit includes n-channel transistors whose drains are connected via resistor elements to the source or drain of the transistor and a power and whose sources are grounded, and changes a bias voltage of the second tuning circuit by turning on and off the n-channel transistors based on the second control signal.

Claim (Index 2):
The voltage controlled oscillator according to  claim 1 , wherein in the switching circuit, the at least one n-channel second transistor includes two n-channel second transistors, each of which is connected via a first resistor element or a second resistor element to the first source or the first drain and the power, and one of the two n-channel second transistors is turned on when the first transistor is turned off based on the second control signal.
