Marine Radio RF Ground Question
If it's series LC doesn't the impedence drop to zero?
Cheers Wally wrote: Nav wrote: Can you explain this. I though that for a parallel LC the impedence went to infinite at resonance (f=1/2pi sqrt(LC)) so that Vin=Vout. What am I missing? Getting beyond my knowledge (or memory), but Gilly did say that the LC circut is series - would that work better? -- Wally www.artbywally.com www.wally.myby.co.uk/music |

That's what I thought. How can a low impedence increase voltage? Can you
explain Gilly's idea to me? Cheers Wally wrote: Nav wrote: If it's series LC doesn't the impedence drop to zero? Just had a play with a spreadsheet - there's a dip in Z in series, and a rise with parallel. -- Wally www.artbywally.com www.wally.myby.co.uk/music |

'Fraid not, but I'll have a guess... :-) With a parallel cct, Z either side of resonance is low, which would develop a lower voltage across the two components. The series cct presents high Z either side of resonance. IOW, the high voltage developed across each component in the series cct is outside the tuned frequency - at low F on one component, high F on the other. Alternatively, and I really am guessing here - how about something to do with phase effects at resonance? All that leading and lagging of current WRT voltage. -- Wally www.artbywally.com www.wally.myby.co.uk/music |

As far as I understand it, the voltage is just the current times the impedence. Similarly, the current is only produced by the driver (Vin) so how can Vout be bigger than Vin (there's no mention of a transformer)? Cheers |

Marine Radio RF Ground Question
The voltage across the inductor is 180 degrees out of phase with the voltage
across the capacitor. A parallel LC resonator has a circulating current of the circuit Q times the applied current. The components better be rated for high current. These concepts are very basic radio theory, the type of questions asked on the amateur radio exam. In practice a pi or t type network may be better for tuning the ground because it would have wider bandwidth than a series LC circuit. It is beneficial to have the ground at a low impedance, that's why series LC is used. "Nav" wrote in message ... Wally wrote: Nav wrote: That's what I thought.

Depends on the circuit driving it.
