Description

Block Variable Capacitor (CE) simulates a capacitor whose capacitance, in farads, is controlled by an input signal Engee. Minimum capacity value ( ) is a constant defined in the library RF Blockset, independent of the Engee control signal. The unit has two electrical RF ports, as well as a directional input for the Engee control signal.
