A voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) is an output signal oscillator whose output can be varied over a particular frequency range that is controlled by the DC voltage input. It is an oscillator whose output frequency is directly connected by its input to the voltage applied (FM control).
A main parameter of the VCO is the sweeping time: this is the minimum time required to turn or sweep from minimum frequency to maximum frequency or reverse.
From an external analog signal, the VCO can be modulated by amplitude (AM). To produce the requested RF power level, an external power amplifier may be required.
