Abstract

See full text

A capacitor has a variable capacitance settable by a bias voltage. A method for setting the bias voltage including the steps of: (a) injecting a constant current to bias the capacitor; (b) measuring the capacitor voltage at the end of a time interval; (c) calculating the capacitance value obtained at the end of the time interval; (d) comparing this value with a desired value; and (e) repeating steps (a) to (d) so as long as the calculated value is different from the set point value. When calculated value matches the set point value; the measured capacitor voltage is stored as a bias voltage to be applied to the capacitor for setting the variable capacitance.
