For those who enjoy building radio projects, you may have noticed that variable capacitors are not as available as they once were. There was a time when all radio receivers contained at least one, but ...
If you’ve seen a big air-variable capacitor, you may have noticed that some of the plates may have slots cut into them. Why? [Mr Carlson] has the answer in the video below. The short answer: you can ...
The inside of classic radios holds wonders that the sterile chips and SMD components of today’s circuits can’t hold a candle to. Chunky resistors and capacitors, vacuum tubes with cathodes aglow, and ...
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 ...
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 ...
