A linear voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) follows the volts/hertz (v/Hz) standard; more common is the exponential volts/octave (v/oct) standard. The exception is frequency modulation (FM), where a linear control voltage input is often preferred to recreate classic style FM as it does not change the fundamental pitch of the carrier oscillator.
