The final tuning component of the oscillator, C2 [capacitor] sets the voltage tuning gain of the oscillator. This capacitor should keep the coupling as light as possible while maintaining the required frequency tuning range of the VCO [voltage controlled oscillator] so that the varactor's phase noise contribution is reduced to a minimum. If the coupling is too light, the oscillator may not start under certain conditions. 2, record 1, English, - frequency%20tuning%20range
