SELECTIVITY FAR FROM 
RESONANCE 
The selectivity  curves  of  Fig. 
5 
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.)
