Here’s a quick circuit that allows you to measure the capacitance of a varicap (also known as a varactor).
As varicaps generally have a very small capacitance (typically a few dozen picofarads) it pays to keep the wiring between the varicap (VC) and the capacitance meter as short as possible to reduce stray capacitance.
