Hi,

Can somebody explain how to calculate tuning range of VCO in percentage....

Thanks...
 

Re: Tuning range calculation of VCO

Thanks a lot..
But if a VCO is tuned from 2.25GHz to 2.63 with oscillation freq of 2.37GHz...
Variation in capacitance of MOS varactor from 0.32 to 0.97 then what will be the percentage tuning range........

Code: 
(upper-typical)/typical = (2.63 - 2.37)/2.37 =  0.1097 ≈ +11%
(lower-typical)/typical = (2.25 - 2.37)/2.37 = -0.0506 ≈ - 5%

hai,
may i know how u got tuning from 2.25Ghz to 2.63
and variation in capacitance
i mean how to cal capacitance vs voltage using Tanner spice

thanks in advance
