Abstract:
A voltage controlled oscillator implements optimising its effective frequency versus voltage transfer function by generating and applying a frequency control signal via a function having a plateau region and a higher slope region, where a horizontal position of the higher slope region, a slope value in the higher slope region, and a function value change magnitude over the higher slope region are adjustable.

Claim (Index 16):
A method of manufacturing voltage controlled oscillators which each comprise an electronic circuit arranged to produce a regenerated frequency control signal comprising at least one signal generated as a function of an initial frequency control signal, which comprises the steps of,\n characterizing each oscillator's frequency versus voltage transfer function; causing said at least one signal to comprise a plateau region, and a continuously and smoothly connected substantially higher slope region; and for each oscillator individually adjusting any one or more of a horizontal position of the substantially higher slope region, a slope value in the substantially higher slope region, and a function value change magnitude over the substantially higher slope region, to optimize the regenerated control signal for the individual oscillator.
