3. RLC Circuits - Resonators and Filters
This chapter provides an in-depth overview of RLC circuits, focusing on resonators and filters. It elaborates on series and parallel resonant circuits, their characteristics, and various filtering techniques implemented with RLC circuits. Practical design considerations and components like crystal and dielectric resonators, along with advanced filter topologies, are also discussed.

What we have learnt
- RLC circuits can be tailored for resonance at specific frequencies, finding applications in frequency selection and signal filtering.
- The Quality Factor (Q) is critical in defining the selectivity and performance of resonant circuits.
- Filter design parameters include cutoff frequency, insertion loss, and roll-off rates, which dictate the effectiveness of signal processing.
Key Concepts
- -- Resonance
- The phenomenon where an RLC circuit responds maximally at a specific frequency, known as the resonant frequency.
- -- Quality Factor (Q)
- A dimensionless parameter that describes the selectivity of the resonant circuit, calculated as the ratio of the resonant frequency to the bandwidth.
- -- Filters
- Circuit configurations that allow signals of certain frequencies to pass while attenuating others, with implementations including low-pass, high-pass, bandpass, and bandstop filters.
