    In part 1 of this two-part guide, we talked about the trade-offs you need to make when selecting the type of capacitor that will be the best fit for your application and the basics of trimmer capacitor design, including dielectric material options. This second post focuses more on the details of trimmer capacitor specs and how to determine what's right for your application.

83. Your Quick Guide To Trimmer Capacitor Selection – Part 1 9/1/2021

    Capacitors are essential circuit elements for storing and suppling charge on demand. For inductors and resistors, capacitors act as the building blocks of passive circuits and the supporting components for active circuits.

84. Making A Reduced Form Factor, High-Performance Switch Filter Bank A Reality 8/18/2021

    More components cannot filter unwanted signals in a crowded RF environment. Rather, the ideal solution is a compact, lightweight wideband tuner architecture with the ability to intelligently acquire and filter signals from a wide number of bands. However, developing this component presents quite a few challenges.
