Capacitor

R2026b

Model capacitor for circuit envelope analysis

• 

Capacitor block

To add a block to a model, double-click the canvas and start typing the block name. Then, select the block from the list.

Libraries:
RF Blockset / Circuit Envelope / Elements

Description

The Capacitor block models a capacitor in circuit envelope environment.

Examples

Analysis of Frequency Response of RF System

Analyze the frequency response of an RF system.

• Open Script

Frequency Response of RF Transmit/Receive Duplex Filter

Simulate a transmit/receive duplex filter and calculate frequency response curves from a broadband white-noise input.

• Open Script

Parameters

Capacitance — Capacitance value

1e-12 F (default) | real number

Capacitance value, specified as a real number. Specify the units of the capacitance from the corresponding drop-down menu.

If you set this parameter value between 0 and 1e-18 F, the block uses a value equal to 1e-18 F during simulation. By default, the value is 1e-12 F.

Programmatic Use: Add Block

To add the block programmatically, use the add_block function with one of these library block paths as the source.

"simrfV2elements/C"

Example: add_block("simrfV2elements/C","myModel/myBlock",MakeNameUnique="on")

Version History

Introduced in R2010b

R2021b: Capacitor block icon updated

Starting in R2021b, the Capacitor block icon has updated. When you open a model created before R2021b containing a Capacitor block, the software replaces the block icon with the R2021b version.
