Best Answer

Resonant frequency of a circuit is proportional to sq rt (L x C). A varactor diode, when suitably voltage biased, looks like a capacitor (C). Varying the bias varies the capacitor and thus the resonant frequency .

What is verector diode in electronics?

I think you you are asking about varactor diode. varactor means variable capacitor. varactor diode is a p-n junction diode which provide a capacitance across it subjected to applied forward and reverse bias. means it provide variable capacitance which depends on the applied reverse voltage(mostly varactor diode works on reverse voltage).They are also known as varicap


What type of diode is used as a variable capacitor?

varactor diode is a correct answer

Why balanced modulator is called balanced modulator?

the output from a balanced modulator consists of modulating freq also. this can be eliminated in a diode modulator by adding two more diodes, making a diode ring. therefore called ring modulator

What diode is used as voltage controlled capacitor?

It is called a varactor or a varicap diode. Its capacitance varies nonlinearly with the reverse voltage applied to its terminals.


Explain the use of a varactor diode in a parallel resonance circuit?

Short answer: By using a varactor diode as the capacitance in a parallel resonant ckt, by changing the reverse bias voltage you change the value of capacitance which in turn changes the resonant frequency. This makes a tuneable resonant ckt.


Which diode is used in frequency tuning application?

The varactor diode is used in frequency tuning applications. Its effective capacitance is a function of the reverse bias voltage across it.
