Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
If a varactor diode is integrated into a VCO circuit that operates between 100 MHz and 500 MHz, how can you determine the control voltage necessary to achieve various oscillator frequencies?
💡 Hint: Use the known frequency, solve for capacitance, and apply the varactor's C-V relationship.
Question 2
You have a varactor diode rated for a capacitance range between 1 nF and 10 nF at its operating voltages. If you want to tune it from 5 nF to 8 nF, what reverse bias voltage must be applied?
💡 Hint: Refer back to the varactor's datasheet for its capacitance behavior under reverse bias.
