Elements
The Capacitor block models a capacitor within the SimRF circuit-envelope simulation environment. For more information about simulating RF systems, see the example, Reduce Computations by Using RF Simulation Techniques.
The block implements the relation

where:
C represents the capacitance.
i(t) represents the current through the capacitor at time t.
v(t) represents the voltage across the terminals of the capacitor at time t.
SimRF current and voltage signals consist of in-phase (Ik) and quadrature (Qk) components at each frequency fk specified in the SimRF Parameters block:


Specify the capacitance, C, as either 0 or a real number greater than or equal to 1e-18 F. If you set this parameter to a value between 0 and 1e-18 F, the block uses a value equal to 1e-18 F during simulation. The default value of this parameter is 1e-12 F.
In the Demos section:
The demo AC Analysis of an RF System analyzes an LC filter using harmonic balance.
The demo Frequency Response of an RF Transmit/Receive Duplex Filter demo simulates an analog RF filter comprised of Capacitor, Inductor, Resistor, and Impedance blocks.
In the SimRF Getting Started Guide:
The section Filter Mixing Products walks through the construction of an LC low-pass tee filter in SimRF software.
