 Quadrature Trapezoid VCO: Part 1 Discussion
The VCO core is the heart of the oscillator; the part of the circuit responsible for determining the frequency of oscillation as well as the basic capabilities of the unit.
The VCO is the primary source for sounds and modulation sources in electronic music synthesizers, yet it is often said that the filter is the heart of a synthesizer.
In an analog sawtooth VCO core, the input control voltage is converted into a current source that charges the capacitor linearly up to a reference voltage point, at which the capacitor is quickly discharged.

 WIDEBAND & LOW-NOISE MICROWAVE VCO
The major drawback of the VCO design from fig.3 is that its operation is still based on lumped components: capacitors (varactors) and inductors.
The circuit diagram of a wideband, low-noise VCO is shown in Fig.6.
One should only be careful about the thickness, since the same microstrip VCO circuit may not oscillate at all on 0.7mm thick laminate (too weak coupling between microstrip lines) or cover a restricted frequency band on 0.9mm thick laminate (coupling too strong).

 VCO Based Sensors
The VCO produces a square wave whose frequency is proportional to input voltage.
The VCO oscillates a frequency that indicates the value seen by the sensor.
When the VCO's output is a 1 (for 50% of a waveform), Q1 is turned on, essentially placing R4 in parallel with the remotely located R2.

 Davidson College Instrumentation Specialist - Physics - Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) project was initiated by Dr. Dan Boye for use when demonstrating the properties of sound to his students.
Boye's requirement for the VCO was that it produced 5 distinct types of audio signal waveforms: square, sawtooth, triangle, sine and a pulsed sine wave that had a duty cycle of 3 seconds on and 3 seconds off.
The VCO is powered off of two nine volt batteries connected in series.

 Radio-Electronics.Com :: VCO - Voltage Controlled Occillators
For example the VCO performance may govern the overall design of the frequency synthesizer or PLL, if a given phase noise performance is to be met.
Other oscillator or VCO circuits may use a common base circuit where there is no phase shift between the emitter and collector signals (assuming a bipolar transistor is used) and the phase shift network must provide either 0 degrees or 360 degrees.
Oscillators are highly non-linear circuits and as a result the flicker noise is modulated onto VCO as sidebands and this manifests itself as phase noise.

 vco
vco — Implementation of a band limited, analog modeled oscillator.
vco can be used to simulate a variety of analog wave forms.
There is an artifact (bug-like feature) in vco which occurs during the first half cycle of the square wave which causes the waveform to be greater in magnitude than all others.

 VCO - Selmic
VCOs are developed to fulfil the toughest performance and reliability requirements of e.g.
VCOs can be customized to include internal voltage regulation and buffer amplifier if a customer needs a higher integration level.
The height of the VCO is thereby 4.0 mm, but if needed, there is a possibility to use leads with another stand off in order to have a certain height for the pick and place machine.

 VCO
The coarse and fine frequency adjustments on the VCO control panel are similar in function to the tuning knob on a guitar.
It is that CV that changes the pitch of the VCO much the same way as fretting a guitar string changes its pitch.
A VCO normally just sits there outputting a variety of waveforms, at a frequency determined by the combination of the "coarse" and "fine tune" adjustments on the control panel.

 Buffer Amplifiers Solve VCO Problems - Maxim/Dallas
The MAX2472/MAX2473 VCO buffers are introduced along with an application circuit and measurement data.
Adequate VCO isolation also depends on board layout, and whether the VCO is discrete, integrated, or modular.
The MAX2473 makes a good VCO buffer when there is only one signal path at the VCO output, and it provides even greater reverse isolation in the same small SOT23-6 package.

 Extending the MaxTrac 900 MHz VCO Frequency Range
These are often referred to as the "left VCO" and the "right VCO" because they are oriented on the left and right sides of the VCO circuit board.
Because the VCO operates at 888 MHz when receiving 927 MHz, and at 902 MHz when transmitting 902 MHz, the SL voltage will be lower in receive than in transmit.
As mentioned above the left side VCO is used for receiving and transmitting on the repeater inputs, and the right side is used for T/A (simplex on the output).

 Verizon Relay Services
To make a VCO call, the caller informs the Relay Operator (RO) that VCO is the preferred communication method at the beginning of the call.
The call proceeds with the VCO customer voicing his or her message, and the RO typing what the called person is saying.
VCO to VCO is an enhancement to basic VCO relay where both the caller and the person called are VCO-users.

 Maryland Relay - Voice Carry-Over (VCO)
VCO can be used with either a TTY or a VCO phone.
Two Line VCO and Reverse Two Line VCO: Two Line VCO (2LVCO) makes it possible for both parties --the person who is deaf/hard of hearing and the person who is hearing-- to speak and hear each other while making it possible for the deaf/hard of hearing person to read what the hearing person has said.
When the other VCO user answers, the OPR will announce the fact that it is a VTV call to let your party know that they should speak into the telephone.

 Trimless IF VCO: Part 1: Design Considerations - Maxim/Dallas
In addition to an understanding of VCO design fundamentals, it requires substantial RF engineering effort to ensure that the design is properly centered and that the oscillator tunes to the desired frequency over all allowed variations in component values, temperature, and supply voltage.
A flexible, low-cost, and reasonably high-performance VCO may be constructed with an inductor-capacitor (LC) tank circuit consisting of a low-cost surface-mount inductor and varactor diode.
The trimless VCO's frequency tuning range is increased to accommodate error sources in the oscillation frequency.

 voltage controlled oscillators
This is to be part of a frequency synthesiser, although a vco isn't always associated with a frequency synthesiser.
Bearing in mind with a vco and the voltage swings involved, you can get a fair bit of leeway and that each varactor diode varies greatly from predicted data of capacitance versus voltage.
With the 74HC4046 VCO, its tuning range is determined by one external capacitor C1 (between C1A and C1B) and one external resistor R1 (between R1 and GND) or two external resistors R1 and R2 (between R1 and GND, and R2 and GND).

 Designing A Low-Noise VCO   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Outside the loop bandwidth, the noise of the free-running VCO is the dominant noise contributor.
As with the VCO phase noise, the reference spurious signals are suppressed by the loop filter.
In a ring-oscillator-based VCO, phase noise close to the carrier is usually reduced by the PLL's feedback loop, which has a high bandwidth.

 Reverse-engineering the AIDC-3733 VCO
John, I don't think the VCO is in the 8-lead DIP; I suspect that the VCO is the pile of SMDs and striplines in the middle of the board.
The "R24" SMD is probably the VCO oscillator transistor (I noticed that the same device is used in the IF amplifier), and the "1Pz" SMD device is probably the oscillator's varactor diode.
The VCO tank circuit seems to be the squiggly stripline inductor terminated in the capacitor and resistor.

 900MHz Spectra VCO modification
The only documentation I've seen on the web concerning the VCO mod is a scan of the VCO board layout with some hand-written notes on it that tries to tell you where to add a resistor to allow operation around 927 MHz.
Remove the VCO shield but leave the thin "gasket" around the outside edge of the board itself.
Pin 1 of the VCO board connector is towards the rear of the radio and is marked on one photo.

 VCO
Many of the factors affecting the BFO detector also apply to the VCO system, except that the VCO is capable of a more effective compensation.
Furthermore, since in VCO designs the audio output tone is directly related to the DC input, the meter reading and the tone will always correspond directly.
The search coil considerations described earlier mapped out the fields of influence surrounding coils of various diameters, and it is interesting to note the pinpointing ability of the smaller coil.

 Voltage Controlled Oscillator
Only one VCO output is being heard, although for the sync'd samples, another VCO was required to provide the master frequency.
The VCO you are listening to is synchronised to a second VCO via its 'sync' input at a fixed frequency.
The coarse frequency pot of this slave VCO is swept manually up and then down.

 Sawtooth VCO   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Capacitor C2 and op amp OA3 form an active integrator which is driven by current from an exponential current source built around op amp OA2 and the differential transistor pair Q1-Q2.
So when someone quotes a value for VCO temperature drift you have to look closely at how this relates to the operating point of the converter.
It turned out that the temperature drift of the full VCO was in the opposite direction from that of the uncompensated converter.

 VCO Tuner   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
This is a utility module to aid in adjusting the 1v/octave response of VCO's.
Refering to the Octave Divider schematic, the VCO output is fed into schmitt trigger U4 (which turns any waveform into a pulse.
The analog switches U7:C and U7:D alternative select the "straight" VCO signal, and the octave divided signal, and feed it into summing amplifier U3:D. The analog switches are clocked such that the frequency divided signal is selected when the CV output is in the high state.

 Buffer Amplifiers Solve VCO Problems   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
When an interferer's amplitude at the VCO output port is sufficient, it can cause the VCO to shift its oscillation frequency to match the interfering frequency.
The energy can be coupled directly to the VCO or through other circuits or traces connected to the VCO.
The typical isolation achieved between VCO and mixer is approximately 44 dB at 900 MHz and 30 dB at 1900 MHz.
