Resonant circuits, also known as resonant networks or tuned circuits, are fundamental components in electronics and signal processing. They consist of an inductor (L), a capacitor (C), and sometimes a resistor (R), arranged in series or parallel configurations. The primary function of a resonant circuit is to selectively amplify or attenuate signals at a specific frequency, known as the resonant frequency (fr).

The resonant frequency of a series RLC circuit is determined by the formula fr = 1 / (2π√(LC)), where L is the inductance and C is the capacitance. At this frequency, the impedance of the circuit is at its minimum, allowing maximum current to flow through the circuit. This property makes resonant circuits useful in applications such as radio receivers, filters, and oscillators.

In a parallel RLC circuit, the resonant frequency is the same, but the behavior is different. At resonance, the impedance is at its maximum, and the voltage across the capacitor and inductor is maximized. This configuration is often used in power supply filters and signal generators.

Resonant circuits can be classified based on their quality factor (Q), which indicates the sharpness of the resonance. A high Q factor means a narrow bandwidth, while a low Q factor indicates a broader bandwidth. The Q factor is given by Q = ω0L / R, where ω0 is the angular resonant frequency (2πfr) and R is the resistance.

Resonant circuits are essential in various electronic devices, including amplifiers, communication systems, and power electronics. Their ability to selectively process signals at specific frequencies makes them indispensable in modern technology.
