Abstract
This thesis investigates the characteristics of varactors and crystals that affect Q and therefore the frequency stability of a voltage controlled oscillator (vco) when employed in a one MHz to three hundred MHz frequency synthesizer. A low noise VHF crystal oscillator, a low noise common base UHF oscillator, and a low noise test set-up are described, built, and tested.
