Semiconductive variable capacitance diodes are not capacitors in the sense of passive components but can change their capacitance as a function of the applied reverse bias voltage and are used like a variable capacitor.
47.
One of the main functions of passive components in wireless phones is to filter out all radio frequencies _ including broadcast radio and television signals _ that are outside the band assigned to its system.
