11. Copyrigh Paul Tobin, School of Electronics and Communications Engineering 11 If the Q-factor is 10 or greater then Rp is the dynamic impedance of the tuned circuit

12. Copyrigh Paul Tobin, School of Electronics and Communications Engineering 12 The Loaded Q-factor Any resistance, when added to a resonant circuit, will change the characteristics of that circuit Any extra resistance placed in parallel will reduce the Q-factor of the parallel tuned circuit and is hence called the loaded Q-factor. The equivalent parallel resistance of the tuned circuit Rd, is the dynamic impedance at f o.
