Embodiments of the invention provide techniques for calibrating voltage-controlled
oscillators (VCOs). Multiple VCOs may be disposed on a chip with the VCOs having
different frequency ranges. The VCOs may be selected and tested to determine a
desired VCO to use to tune to a selected channel frequency. Each of the VCOs has
multiple possible varactor configurations. The varactor configurations of the desired
VCO determined to be used to tune to the selected channel frequency can be selected
and tested to determine a desired varactor configuration for the desired VCO. The
desired VCO with the desired varactor configuration will preferably be able to
produce a full range of desired frequencies corresponding to all channel frequencies desired.
