The selectivity/sharpness of the resonance amplifier is measured by the quality factor and is explained in the figure shown below:

F1 U.B. Nita 29.10.2019 D 3

Selectivity of a resonant circuit is defined as the ratio of resonant frequency fr to the half power bandwidth.

Selectivity = resonance frequency/3-dB Bandwidth
\( = \frac{{{f_r}}}{{{f_2} - {f_1}}}\)

Important Points

The quality factor Q is defined as the ratio of the resonant frequency to the bandwidth, i.e.

\(Q=\frac{{ω}_{r}}{BW}\)

ωr = Resonant frequency

B.W. = Bandwith of the amplifier
