Abstract: A novel parallel-plate MEMS variable capacitor with a thin-film vertical comb actuator is proposed. The actuator can vertically displace both plates of the capacitor. Making use of the ...

This chapter presents details of the methodology used for setting up a parallel‐plate capacitor and its charging and discharging, using the finite‐difference time‐domain (FDTD) method. It also ...

Another passive two-terminal electrical component is the capacitor. It is formerly known as a condenser and is capable of storing energy in the form of an electrostatic charge that produces a ...
