WIDE-BAND VOLTAGE-CONTROLLED OSCILLATOR (VCO) WITH SWITCHED INDUCTOR CIRCUIT

摘要

Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) that is configurable (e.g., in a dynamic manner) in multiple modes of operation (e.g., low/high-band modes). The VCO may include a resonant circuit coupled to a plurality of switches that may be used to adjust current flow within one or more inductive elements of the resonant circuit. By adjusting the current flow within the inductive elements, an inductance of the resonant circuit may be adjusted, which in turn adjusts a band of the VCO.
