A low-noise voltage controlled oscillator is provided, to improve a phase
noise characteristic and widen a frequency variable range. The low-noise
voltage controlled oscillator is configured so that an oscillation
element and a capacitor 2 are connected in series between a collector C
and an emitter E of a transistor 1, capacitors 3 and 4 are connected in
series between the collector C and the emitter E, an electrical potential
between the capacitors 3 and 4 is applied to a base B of the transistor
1; a one-port circuit 6 is provided between the collector C and the
capacitor 4; and a capacitor for correction 5 is connected in parallel
with the capacitors 3 and 4. The one-port circuit 6 includes a tuned
circuit provided with a variable capacitor adjusting a capacity thereof
smaller and an inductor adjusting a value of inductance larger so as to
set a value of impedance relatively large.
