Post subject: Noise at resonance frequency Posted: Mon Sep

I have build a VCO for a mixer IC. When i am viewing
the output power of VCO with Spectrum analyzer then there is a lot of
noise at and around desired resonance frequency. I am using a DC supply
of +- 5V and a regulated supply from 0V to 1.5V to check the response
of VCO resonance frequency. Noise is less when i am operating with 0V
or 1.5V regulated voltage, but if i give around 0.7V of regulated supply
then noise gets worse. I have also tried connecting capacitors with
my regulated supply but to no improvement. Can anybody please suggest
that how can i get rid of the noise ?

I'm
a bit confused. Do I understand that you are running the oscillator
proper from +/- 5V regulated, and that you're changing the control voltage
(from a different supply?) from 0 to 1.5V?
If your VCO uses a
varactor diode, you need to make sure that it's never forward biased.
That means avoiding the range of 0 to at least 0.7 V
Good Luck!
