Abstract
The voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) circuit comprises a tank circuit, a first tuning section comprising first capacitor elements wherein each one of the first capacitor elements is individually utilizable for the tank circuit, and a second tuning section comprising second capacitor elements wherein each one of the second capacitor elements is individually utilizable for the tank circuit and the capacitance of each one of the second capacitor elements is continuously adjustable in a predetermined capacitance range in dependence on a tuning voltage.
