  • The frequency range that I am aiming is from 10 Hz to 1 MHz pure stable sinusoidal wave. And the amplitude of 10 Vpp ,1 mA , -28 dBc (if my calculation is correct), the two ways that i can think of to control the circuit is with the help of a digital potentiometer or a DAC of 8 bit or 12 bit.

  • So i have found this circuit which is based on Varactor a VCO;
