A digitally tuned capacitor is an IC variable capacitor based on several technologies. MEMS , BST and SOI / SOS devices are available from a number of suppliers and vary in capacitance range, quality factor and resolution for different RF tuning applications.
Founded in 1923 to provide tuning capacitors for the growing home construction market, by the Fillmore family in Lewisham, England, (there never was a pair of people involved who were Jackson brothers!) the firm went on to manufacture a huge variety of the, mostly air-spaced, two or three gang, variable capacitors, that were at the heart of all ...
The second varicap effectively replaces the blocking capacitor in the first circuit. This reduces the overall capacitance and the capacitance range by half, but has the advantage of reducing the AC component of voltage across each device and has symmetrical distortion should the AC component possess enough amplitude to bias the varicaps into ...
Sherwood is a manufacturer of hi-fi equipment. The company was founded 1953 in Chicago by John Snow and audio engineer Ed Miller. [1] [2] [3]
A capacitor is a passive device on a circuit board that stores electrical energy in an electric field by virtue of accumulating electric charges on two close surfaces insulated from each other. This is a list of known capacitor manufacturers, their headquarters country of origin, and year founded. The oldest capacitor companies were founded ...
The most common application of tank circuits is tuning radio transmitters and receivers. For example, when tuning a radio to a particular station, the LC circuits are set at resonance for that particular carrier frequency. A series resonant circuit provides voltage magnification. A parallel resonant circuit provides current magnification.
Failed aluminium electrolytic capacitors with open vents in the top of the can, and visible dried electrolyte residue (reddish-brown color) The capacitor plague was a problem related to a higher-than-expected failure rate of non-solid aluminium electrolytic capacitors between 1999 and 2007, especially those from some Taiwanese manufacturers, [1] [2] due to faulty electrolyte composition that ...
Within each compartment can be seen (from top): the triode tube, the interstage coupling coil, and the capacitor attached to its front panel tuning dial. The compartments contain (from left): the 4 RF stages, the detector stage, and the 4 tube audio amplifier. The capacitors could be linked to a common shaft and tuned together, or tuned separately.
