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.

Uses a few techniques to calculate the steady-state frequency response for a filter-based RF system built from RF Blockset™ Circuit Envelope library blocks. The first technique performs static analysis (harmonic balance) on a circuit comprising of inductors and capacitors. The second technique does time domain simulation using a similar circuit built with the Filter library block. The third technique facilitates small-signal analysis to obtain the frequency response of a filtering system that exhibits nonlinearity at a given operation point. This example helps you validate a circuit envelope model using a static analysis in the frequency domain, a time domain simulation, and small signal analysis in cases where the system exhibits non-linearity.
Use blocks from the RF Blockset™ Circuit Envelope library to simulate a transmit/receive duplex filter and calculate frequency response curves from a broadband white-noise input. Blocks from the DSP System Toolbox™ libraries generate the input signal, process the output signal, and display the results.
