A simple analysis relates the small-signal specification of a varactor's capacitance to an oscillator's tuning curve. The notion of an effective capacitance across the amplitude of oscillation is introduced. The analysis also explains how the varactor converts AM noise on the oscillation into FM, which is phase noise. The analysis is experimentally validated.
