1. A variable capacitor bank comprising:
a conductive housing;
an electrical bus comprising a first portion disposed within the conductive housing and a second portion extending through the conductive housing such that the second portion of the electrical bus and the conductive housing form a port, wherein the first portion of the electrical bus is electrically coupled to the conductive housing; and
a switched capacitor disposed within the conductive housing, the switched capacitor electrically coupled to the first portion of the electrical bus, wherein the switched capacitor comprises a switch coupled to a driver circuit.
