DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
VCO frequency characteristic
With R1 and R2 within the ranges 3 kΩ < R1 < 300 kΩ, 3 kΩ < R2 < 300 kΩ,
the characteristics of the VCO operation will be as shown in Fig. 24.

Fig. 24 Frequency characteristic of VCO operating with offset:
fo = centre frequency; 2fL = frequency lock range.
Selection of R1, R2 and C1
Given f0 and fL, determine the value of product R1C1 by using Fig.29.
Calculate foff from the equation foff = fo − 1.6fL.
Obtain the values of C1 and R2 by using Fig.28.
Calculate the value of R1 from the value of C1 and the product R1C1.
