Abstract :
The voltage variable capacitor has been used in tuning circuits for some time. The hyperabrupt varactor diode is fabricated to yield an especially steep capacitance-voltage characteristic under reverse bias conditions. An analysis of this diode yields an analytical expression for capacitance versus applied reverse bias which agrees remarkably well with the experimentally determined C-V curves.
