Abstract

In a swept frequency oscillator arrangement compensation is provided for the non-linearities in the tuning sensitivity of the oscillator. The non-linearities are initially measured and stored. Subsequently the stored values are used to control the rate at which the clock pulses are integrated to produce a control signal for the oscillator.
