    摘要: The apparatus comprises a first coupler configured to receive two output signals, having 180° phase difference, outputted from a first differential generator as two input signals, and output a first voltage signal generated by adding the two input signals and a second voltage signal corresponding to subtraction of the two input signals, a second coupler configured to receive two output signals, having 180° phase difference, outputted from a second differential generator as two input signals, and output a third voltage signal generated by adding the two input signals and a fourth voltage signal corresponding to subtraction of the two input signals, a coupling network connected to the first differential generator and the second differential generator and a third coupler configured to output a signal generated by adding the voltage signal outputted from the first coupler and corresponding voltage signal outputted from the second coupler.

    摘要: A variable frequency oscillator comprising a first transistor (10) and a second transistor (20); wherein the first transistor (10) has a first terminal—collector—which is connected to a reference voltage, and a second terminal—emitter—which is connected to a first terminal of a first current source (13), which second terminal is connected to ground, and a third terminal—base—connected to a first terminal of a first inductor (14) and to a top terminal of a first capacitor (11), wherein the first capacitor (11) has a bottom terminal which is connected to the second terminal—emitter—of the first transistor (10) but also to a top terminal of a second capacitor (12) having a bottom terminal being connected to ground; wherein the second transistor (20) has a first terminal—collector—which is connected to a reference voltage, and a second terminal—emitter—which is connected to a first terminal of a second current source (23), which second terminal is connected to ground, and a third terminal—base—connected to a first terminal of a second inductor (14) and to a top terminal of a third capacitor (21), wherein the third capacitor (21) has a bottom terminal which is connected to the second terminal—emitter—of the second transistor (20) and also to a top terminal of a fourth capacitor (22) having a bottom terminal connected to ground; wherein the first and second inductors (14, 24) have a second terminal which are connected via a circuit (100) achieving variable capacitance, so as to form a circuit connecting in series all passive components composing the LC tank, so as to achieve a variable capacitance which can be used for performing a tuning of the oscillator, and wherein the second capacitor (12) and the fourth capacitor (22) are both connected to the physical ground thereby avoiding a 2nd harmonic common mode oscillation that might dominate over the differential fundamental one and might destroy the first and the second transistors (10, 20).
