Abstract
An improved vacuum variable capacitor can include one or more characteristics that provide advantages over previous vacuum variable capacitors. In particular, the vacuum variable capacitor can be constructed so as to enable the capacitance to be adjusted more easily, reduce parasitic electrical characteristics that degrade the performance of the vacuum variable capacitor, increase the strength of the capacitor plates of the vacuum variable capacitor, reduce the size of the vacuum variable capacitor, and/or make the shape of the vacuum variable capacitor more easily integrated into a system of which the vacuum variable capacitor is part.
