Varactor (or “varicap”) diodes are used primarily in radio-frequency (RF) circuits to provide a capacitance that can be varied by changing the applied voltage. These types of diodes often are used for ...
Various configurations (Colpitts, Pierce, Clapp etc) are described in literature [Ref(1)]. Depending on the frequency requirements, various devices like MESFETs, pHEMTs, and HBTs can be used for VCO ...
This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. 1. Bob Pease built this varactor-input op-amp out of discrete components, based on an old design of Jim Williams. A ...
