Abstract

A narrow-band voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) circuit for phase-locked frequency multiplier in rubidium atomic clock was designed. A clapp oscillation circuit scheme was used in the design. The design of the VCO was analyzed and optimized by simulation. A true VCO circuit was constructed and tested. The performance specifications of VCO were as following: frequency covering 440~470 MHz, tuning sensitivity 18 MHz/V and second harmonic suppression -15 dBc. The phase-locked frequency multiplication system was found to have a low phase noise meeting the requirement of the miniature rubidium atomic clocks.
