Abstract
Tuning diodes are voltage-variable capacitors (varactors) based on semiconductor junction phenomena, which can be used for electric tuning applications. This paper is intended to explain how varactors function, introduce a new varactor applicable to AM radio, and describe the characteristics of this device.
