What is a Voltage Controlled Oscillator?

A Voltage controlled oscillator is a type of oscillator where the frequency of the output oscillations can be varied by varying the amplitude of an input voltage signal. The oscillation frequency varies from few hertz to hundreds of GHz. Voltage controlled oscillators are commonly used in frequency (FM), pulse (PM) modulators, and phase locked loops (PLL).
