1. A reconfigurable network for a voltage-controlled oscillator, comprising:

  • a plurality of capacitors, wherein a respective capacitance of at least a portion of the plurality of capacitors is adjustable, wherein the plurality of capacitors are connected between a first port and a second port;

    a plurality of inductors; and

    a plurality of switches for selecting one or more of the plurality of inductors, wherein the selected ones of the inductors are connected between the first port and the second port based upon the configuration of the plurality of switches,wherein the plurality of capacitors, inductors, and switches collectively form a resonance LC tank circuit having the first port and the second port.
