This article describes an inductorless near-harmonic voltage-controlled oscillator circuit that utilizes a compensated Wien-bridge topology with a voltage-controlled Miller integrator as the tuning element. Suitable for monolithic integrated realization, the VCO offers a two-to-one control range for frequencies up to 10 MHz, with less than a 1-dB amplitude variation and less than a ten percent total harmonic distortion over the entire control range.
