What is Frequency Response of a Circuit?
It is the variation in a circuit’s behavior with change in signal
frequency and may also be considered as the variation of the gain
and phase with frequency.

14.2 Transfer Function
The transfer function H(ω) of a circuit is the frequency-dependent ratio of a phasor output Y(ω) (voltage or current ) to a phasor input X(ω)(voltage or current).

14.4 Series Resonance
Resonance is a condition in an RLC circuit in which the capacitive and inductive reactance are equal in magnitude, thereby resulting in purely resistiveimpedance.

14.4 Series Resonance
The features of series resonance:
The impedance is purely resistive, Z = R;• The supply voltage Vs and the current I are in phase, so
cos θ = 1;• The magnitude of the transfer function H(ω) = Z(ω) is
minimum;• The inductor voltage and capacitor voltage can be much
more than the source voltage.

Half-power frequencies ω1 and ω2 are frequencies at which the dissipated power is half the maximum value:
The half-power frequencies can be obtained by setting Z
equal to √2 R.

• The quality factor is the ratio of its resonant frequency to its bandwidth.
• If the bandwidth is narrow, the quality factor of the resonant circuit must be high.
• If the band of frequencies is wide, the quality factor must be low.

14.6 Passive Filters • A filter is a circuit
that is designed to pass signals with desired frequencies and reject or attenuate others.
• Passive filter consists of only passive element R, L and C.
• There are four types of filters.
