Abstract
Abstract A voltage controlled oscillator having a resonator wherein a substrate is made up of a plurality of dielectric layers; an inductor functioning conductive film and grounding electrode films are each formed at a boundary surface of one of the dielectric layers; the earth electrode films are arranged, in the direction in which the dielectric layers are laminated, at both sides of the conductor functioning conductive film; the inductor functioning conductive film and the grounding electrode films constitute the resonator; and electric lands are formed on the surface of the substrate so that other components of the oscillator are mounted on the surface of the substrate.
