Abstract

To provide a miniaturized voltage controlled oscillator which can oscillate simultaneously a plurality of frequencies and has high stability of frequency, an excellent low phase noise, small variation per hour, and a wide frequency variable range.A thin film bulk acoustic wave resonator using single crystal ferroelectric material equal to or smaller than 10 &mgr;m in thickness whose direction of polarization is aligned to the direction of thickness is utilized as the piezoelectric member. The voltage controlled oscillator having large changing rate of the oscillation frequency of 0.01%/V or more and an extremely small phase noise is provided by changing the voltage applied to the electrodes.
