Mica Condensers in High-Frequency Circuits

Mica condensers have a variety of uses in high-frequency circuits. They are called upon to store electrical energy, block direct current, by-pass high-frequency current, etc. Each of these functions is discussed in detail. Conventional construction of mica condensers is described. A method of arriv̇ing at satisfactory ratings is shown. The following examples are worked out: 1. Calculation of requirements for tank condenser bank. 2. Calculation of rating of a given condenser. S. Calculation and choice of a proper bank of condensers for a tank circuit with 100 per cent modulation.
