May be a stupid question, but where a capacitors is needed to block DC and just pass RF, these seem to be the ticket.
How suitable are they to be part of a tuned circuit, say, as a bulk capacitance allowing a smaller and more economical variable capacitor for loading?
My presumption is that as long as the current and voltage ratings are not exceeded there should be no reason against using an RF doorknob.
One circuit calls for a 2500pF vacuum variable. It would be great to use two of them and a 500pF vacuum variable.
One circuit calls for a 1000pF fixed vacuum cap. The value is not critical for tuning as long as it is stable.
I'm specifically asking about the Strontium Titanate types here:
