Abstract :
This paper describes a linear FM modulation circuit. The modulation circuit and oscillator, which are in microstrip, exhibit exceptional slope linearity and group delay with no external frequency compensation over a deviation bandwidth of 2% of the RF frequency. The baseband frequency response of the modulator/oscillator is greater than dc to 150 MHz. This modulation circuit has been used with microstrip oscillators at 1.8 and 5 GHz.
