If you enjoy building radio projects you may have noticed something slightly worrying over the last few years in your component supply. Variable capacitors are no longer as plentiful as they used to ...
Radio experimenters often need a variable capacitor to tune their circuits, as the saying goes, for maximum smoke. In decades past these were readily available from almost any scrap radio, but the ...
How do you implement a variable capacitor these days? Mechanical caps are out. That leaves varactors, which work fine but require higher voltages that often are not available, and their response is ...
SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Peregrine Semiconductor Corporation, a fabless provider of high-performance radio-frequency (RF) integrated circuits (ICs), today announced availability of the ...
Recently Cavendish Kinetics, a MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems) design house, issued a press release announcing a partnership with TowerJazz to produce tunable MEMS capacitors for use in mobile ...
The Reno GenMatch™ integrates the company’s proven solid-state Electronic Variable Capacitor (EVC™) RF match and Precis™ generator technologies into a single unit. The Reno GenMatch™ integrates the ...
This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Cavendish Kinetics now offers a tunable RF micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) capacitor that lets smart-phone antennas cover a ...
Any PN junction diode can be used as a variable capacitor in reverse biased mode, as well as in the forward biased mode before the knee voltage. The capacitance is usually very small as the junction ...
