A tunable capacitor based on the Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology is designed and simulated which can be used for various applications such as oscillators, phase shifters, tunable ...

As a rule of thumb, capacitors create reactive power, while inductors consume reactive power, meaning that for PFC the right capacitance or inductance has to be added to get the PF as close to 1.0 ...

For multilevel flying-capacitor (FC) converter in dc–ac applications, variable switching frequency (VSF) control is an attractive solution to regulate the FC voltage ripple compared with the constant ...
