Provided are a differential voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) and a quadrature VCO using center-tapped cross-coupling of a transformer. The differential VCO and the quadrature VCO can be driven by low power through a current reuse structure and have an excellent phase noise characteristic by center-tapped cross-coupling through a transformer. Further, variable capacitance units for frequency variation are divided into variable capacitance units for coarse tuning and variable capacitance units for fine tuning. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a wide tuning range while voltage oscillation gain is reduced. Further, the differential VCO and the quadrature VCO are configured in such a manner that the respective variable capacitance units operate linearly throughout the entire capacitance region due to control voltage distribution by resistors. Accordingly, it is possible to obtain a linear control voltage-oscillation frequency characteristic. The quadrature VCO according to the present invention can output four-phase quadrature signals while having an excellent phase noise characteristic, without substrate loss and current consumption caused by the switching transistors.

An exemplary tuning-fork type piezoelectric vibrating piece has at least a pair of vibrating arms extending from one end of a base portion in a certain longitudinal direction (e.g., Y-direction). Supporting arms extend from respective side edges of the base, outboard of the vibrating arms in the certain direction. The supporting arms have respective mounting regions near their distal tips. Each supporting arm progressively narrows from its proximal end, coupled to the respective side edge of the base, to its respective mounting region. The progressive narrowing can be via one or more constrictions along the length of the supporting arm.
