Bandpass filter

An electrical resonant circuit consisting of an inductance L L , a resistance R R and a capacitance C C can be used as a bandpass filter. From the input signal U in ( t ) U_\text{in}(t) , only frequencies near the resonance ω 0 = 1 L C \omega_0 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}} are then forwarded as output signal U out ( t ) U_\text{out}(t) . For a sinusoidal signal U in = U 0 e i ω t U_\text{in} = U_0 e^{i \omega t} , an output voltage U out = U 0 A ( ω ) e i ω t U_\text{out} = U_0 A(\omega) e^{i \omega t} is then obtained with a frequency-dependent amplitude A ( ω ) = U out / U in |A(\omega)| = |U_\text{out}/U_\text{in}| , which has a maximum at the resonance frequency ω 0 \omega_0 . This peak is characterized by its full half-width Δ ω \Delta \omega at which the electrical power has fallen to half the maximum value (or U out = U in / 2 |U_{\text{out}}| = |U_\text{in}|/\sqrt{2} ). The relative bandwidth can be expressed by the dimensionless Q factor Q = ω 0 Δ ω Q = \frac{\omega_0}{\Delta \omega} What is the Q factor for the resonant circuit shown here?


The answer is 20.

The resonant circuit has an complex electrical impedance Z = U in I = i ω L + R + 1 i ω C = R + i ω L ( 1 ω 0 2 ω 2 ) Z = \frac{U_\text{in}}{I} = i \omega L + R + \frac{1}{i \omega C} = R + i \omega L \left(1 - \frac{\omega_0^2}{\omega^2} \right) The voltage drop at the resistor is taken as output signal U out = R I = R Z U in A ( ω ) = U out U in = 1 1 + i ω L R ( 1 ω 0 2 ω 2 ) A ( ω ) = 1 1 + ω 2 L 2 R 2 ( 1 ω 0 2 ω 2 ) 2 \begin{aligned} & & U_\text{out} &= RI = \frac{R}{Z} U_\text{in} \\ \Rightarrow & & A(\omega) &= \frac{U_\text{out}}{U_\text{in}} = \frac{1}{ 1 + i \omega \dfrac{L}{R} \left(1 - \dfrac{\omega_0^2}{\omega^2} \right) } \\ \Rightarrow & & |A(\omega)| &= \frac{1}{ \sqrt{1 + \omega^2 \dfrac{L^2}{R^2} \left(1 - \dfrac{\omega_0^2}{\omega^2} \right)^2} } \end{aligned} To estimate the bandwidth Δ ω \Delta \omega , we put A ( ω ) = 1 / 2 |A(\omega)| = 1/\sqrt{2} , so that ω L R ( 1 ω 0 2 ω 2 ) = ± 1 ω 2 ± R L ω ω 0 2 = 0 ω 1 , 2 = ± R 2 L + R 2 4 L 2 + ω 0 2 Δ ω = ω 1 ω 2 = R L Q = ω 0 Δ ω = 1 R L C = 20 \begin{aligned} & & \omega \frac{L}{R} \left(1 - \frac{\omega_0^2}{\omega^2} \right) &= \pm 1 \\ \Rightarrow & & \omega^2 \pm \frac{R}{L} \omega - \omega_0^2 &= 0 \\ \Rightarrow & & \omega_{1,2} &= \pm \frac{R}{2 L} + \sqrt{\frac{R^2}{4 L^2} + \omega_0^2} \\ \Rightarrow & & \Delta \omega &= \omega_1 - \omega_2 = \frac{R}{L} \\ \Rightarrow & & Q &= \frac{\omega_0}{\Delta \omega} = \frac{1}{R} \sqrt{\frac{L}{C}} = 20 \end{aligned}
