I've just realised exsistence of monolithic VCOs. Most of them are about <10Ghz.
Can it be used as LO in short-range FMCW measuring system? If distance is <5meters, can such VCO be used as stand-alone VCO (without amplification stages on Recieving antenna, etc.). Do I still need some ZCC circuity to control frequency, or such VCOs have well-known voltag-frequency curve?
