Vacuum variable capacitor

A vacuum variable capacitor is a variable capacitor which uses a high vacuum as the dielectric instead of air or other insulating material. This allows for a higher voltage rating than an air dielectric [1] using a smaller total volume. However, many dielectrics have higher breakdown field strengths than vacuum: 60-170 MV/m for teflon, 470-670 MV/m for fused silica and 2000 …

Figure 3. Matching a 50 Ω source to a 1 kΩ load at 100 MHz. Figure 3 shows a 50 Ω source that needs to be matched to a 1 kΩ load at 100 MHz. The shunt capacitor needs to transform the parallel 1 kΩ to a series 50 Ω resistor, which means this RC combination needs to have a loaded Q of 4.36, from Equation 6. This will give us an equivalent ...

Variable capacitor

A vacuum variable capacitor uses a set of plates made from concentric cylinders that can be slid in or out of an opposing set of cylinders (sleeve and plunger). These plates are then sealed inside of a non-conductive envelope such as glass or ceramic and placed under a high vacuum.The movable part (plunger) is mounted on a flexible metal membrane that seals and maintains the …

In mechanically controlled variable capacitors, the distance between the plates, or the amount of plate surface area which overlaps, can be changed. The most common form arranges a group of semicircular metal plates on a rotary axis ("rotor") that are positioned in the gaps between a set of stationary plates ("stator") so that the area of overlap can be changed by rotating the axi…

The input impedance of an antenna system can be assigned (either notionally, or using a Match Meter or measuring bridge) to one of six regions of the Z-plane, as illustrated below. The assignment identifies the AMU adjustments that must be made in order to bring the impedance to 50+ j 0 Ohms using combinations of series and parallel reactance.
