The series RLC band-pass filter shown takes its output across the resistor, with L=10 mH, C=100 nF, and R=100, . Find its bandwidth.

  1. 10 kHz
  2. 5.03 kHz
  3. 1.59 kHz
  4. 0.796 kHz

Answer

C. 1.59 kHz

Solution

BW=R/2π L= 100, 2π(10 mH)=1.59 kHz. (Equivalently Q=XL/R=3.16 and BW=f0/Q=1.59 kHz.)
