This document discusses series and parallel resonant circuits. It begins by introducing resonant circuits and their frequency response characteristics. It then provides details on series resonant circuits, including calculations for impedance, current, and power at resonance. It defines quality factor and selectivity for series circuits. Similar details are then provided for parallel resonant circuits, including calculations for impedance, voltage, and quality factor at resonance and maximum impedance.

Resonance

This chapter will introduce the very important resonant (or tuned) circuit,
which is fundamental to the operation of a wide variety of electrical and
electronic systems in use today. The resonant circuit is a combination of R, L,
and C elements having a frequency response characteristic similar to the one
appearing in Figure.

Resonance curve.
1. SERIES RESONANCE CIRCUIT
A resonant circuit (series or parallel) must have an inductive and
a capacitive element. A resistive element will always be present
due to the internal resistance of the source (Rs), the internal
resistance of the inductor (Rl), and any added resistance to
control the shape of the response curve (Rdesign ).
The total impedance of this network at any frequency is
determined by

The resonant conditions described in the introduction will occur


when

The total impedance at resonance is then simply

representing the minimum value of ZT at any frequency. The subscript s will


be employed to indicate series resonant conditions.

Substituting yields
The current through the circuit at resonance is
maximum current
which you will note is the maximum current for the circuit of
Figure for an applied voltage E since ZT is a minimum value.

the input voltage and current are in phase at resonance.

and, since XL = XC, the magnitude of VL equals VC at resonance;


that is,
A phasor diagram of the voltages and current,
clearly indicates that the voltage across the
resistor at resonance is the input voltage, and E,
and I, and VR are in phase at resonance.

The power triangle at resonance shows


that the total apparent power is equal to
the average power dissipated by the
resistor since QL = QC. The power factor
of the circuit at resonance is
THE QUALITY FACTOR (Q )
The quality factor Q of a series resonant circuit is defined as the
ratio of the reactive power of either the inductor or the
capacitor to the average power of the resistor at resonance;
that is,

The quality factor is also an indication of how much energy is


placed in storage (continual transfer from one reactive element
to the other) compared to that dissipated.
For series resonant circuits used in communication systems, Qs is
usually greater than 1.

By applying the voltage divider rule to the circuit of Figure, we


obtain
ZT VERSUS FREQUENCY

Resistance, Inductive reactance and capacitive reactance versus frequency.


SELECTIVITY
If we now plot the magnitude of the current I = E/ZT versus frequency for a
fixed applied voltage E, we obtain the curve shown in Figure, which rises from
zero to a maximum value of E/R (where ZT is a minimum) and then drops
toward zero (as ZT increases) at a slower rate than it rose to its peak value.
The curve is actually the inverse of the impedance-versus-frequency curve.

I versus frequency for the series resonant circuit.


Those frequencies corresponding to 0.707 of the maximum
current are called the band frequencies, cutoff frequencies, or
half-power frequencies. They are indicated by f1 and f2

The range of frequencies between the two is referred to as the


bandwidth (BW) of the resonant circuit.

Half-power frequencies are those frequencies at which the


power delivered is 1/2 that delivered at the resonant
frequency; that is,
Since the resonant circuit is adjusted to select a band of
frequencies, the curve of Figure is called the selectivity curve.
The term is derived from the fact that one must be selective in
choosing the frequency to ensure that it is in the bandwidth. The
smaller the bandwidth, the higher the selectivity

Effect of R, L, and C on the selectivity curve for the series


resonant circuit.
A small Qs, therefore, is associated with a resonant curve having
a large bandwidth and a small selectivity, while a large Qs
indicates the opposite.
For circuits where Qs  10, a widely accepted approximation is
that the resonant frequency bisects the bandwidth and that the
resonant curve is symmetrical about the resonant frequency.
The ratio ( f2- f1)/fs is sometimes called the fractional bandwidth,
providing an indication of the width of the bandwidth compared
to the resonant frequency.

Fig. 3 Equivalent parallel network for a series R-L combination
Redrawing the network of Fig. 2 with the equivalent of Fig. 3 and a practical
current source having an internal resistance Rs will result in the network of Fig. 4.

Fig. 4 Substituting the equivalent parallel network for the series R-L
combination of Fig. 2.
If we define the parallel combination of Rs and Rp by the notation

Fig.5 Substituting R = Rs//Rp for the


network of Fig.4

Unity Power Factor, fp


For unity power factor, the reactive component must be zero as
defined by

Multiplying the top and bottom of the factor within the square-root sign by
C/L produces
Maximum Impedance, fm
At f = fp the input impedance of a parallel resonant circuit will be near its
maximum value but not quite its maximum value due to the frequency
dependence of Rp. The frequency at which maximum impedance will occur is
defined by fm and is slightly more than fp, as demonstrated in Fig.6 .

Once fm is determined, the network of Fig. 6 can


be used to determine the magnitude and phase
angle the total impedance at the resonance Fig. 6 ZT versus frequency
condition simply by substituting f = fm and for the parallel resonant
performing the required calculations. That is, circuit.
SELECTIVITY CURVE FOR PARALLEL RESONANT CIRCUITS
Since the current I of the current source is constant for any value of ZT or
frequency, the voltage across the parallel circuit will have the same shape as
the total impedance ZT, as

Fig. 7 Defining the shape of the Vp (f) curve.

Since the voltage across parallel elements is the same,

The resonant value of VC is therefore determined by the value of ZTm and the
magnitude of the current source I.
The quality factor of the parallel resonant circuit continues to be
determined by the ratio of the reactive power to the real power.
That is,

For the ideal current source (Rs= ∞ ) or when Rs is sufficiently


large compared to Rp, we can make the following
approximation:
