SELECTIVITY FAR FROM
RESONANCE
The selectivity curves of Fig.

are based on the
presence of only a single type of coupling between the
circuits. The curves are useful beyond the peak region
treated in the section on selectivity near resonance.

SELECTIVITY OF SINGLE- AND
DOUBLE-TUNED CIRCUITS
NEAR RESONANCE
Equations and curves are presented for the selectivity
and phase shift of
n
single-tuned circuits and of
m
pairs
of coupled tuned circuits. The conditions assumed are
All circuits are tuned to the same frequency,&.
All circuits have the same
Q,
or each pair of
circuits includes one circuit having
Q,
and the
other having
Q2.
Otherwise the circuits need not be identical.
Each successive circuit or pair
of
circuits
is
isolated from the preceding and following ones
by active devices, with no regeneration around
the system.
Certain approximations have been made to simplify
the equations. In most actual applications of the types
of circuits treated, the error involved is negligible from
a practical standpoint. Over the narrow frequency band
in question, it is assumed that
The reactance around each circuit is equal to
The resistance of each circuit is constant and
equal to
Xo/Q.
The coupling between two circuits of
a
pair is
reactive and constant. (When an untuned link
is used to couple the two circuits, this condition
frequently is far from satisfied, resulting in
a
lopsided selectivity curve.)
