Abstract
An aspect of the present invention is a voltage controlled oscillator that provides multi octave band tenability. The oscillator preferably includes one or more multi planar resonators which allow it to be implemented in integrated circuit form. Oscillators implemented in accordance with the aspect of the present invention provide as wide a tuning range as the YIG based resonators but are much more compact and efficient. Therefore, they are amenable to implementation in integrated circuits and suited for adaptation in third and future generation wireless devices.
