An integrated electronic circuit comprises at least first and second variable resonator elements that can be tuned by means of an electric signal (Vtune) and that are arranged on the same silicon substrate, and that are respectively integrated into a Master circuit and a Slave circuit. Each resonator element is associated with a first inductive partner element set in the vicinity of the resonant and antiresonant frequencies; and with a second capacitive partner element, at least one of said partner elements being adjustable by means of said electric signal (Vtune). Controlling both partner elements could be done either by means of an adjustable capacitor, as a varactor, or by means of an inductor, passive or active, fixed or variable.

The invention discloses a variable inductor, a voltage-controlled oscillator containing the variable inductor and a phase-locked loop, wherein the variable inductor includes a signal line arranged above a substrate. The variable inductor also includes: a first ground plane located above the substrate, the first ground plane disposed on the first side of the signal line; and a second ground plane disposed above the substrate, the second ground plane disposed on the signal line on the second side of the signal line opposite the first side of the line. The variable inductor further includes: a first floating plane located above the substrate, the first floating plane disposed between the first ground plane and the signal line; and a second floating plane located above the substrate, the second The floating plane is arranged between the second ground plane and the signal line. The variable inductor also includes an array of switches configured to selectively connect the first ground plane to the first floating plane, and selectively connect the second ground plane to the second floating plane.
