Hi to all

is it possible to replace 10KOhm resistor w LC parallel or serial filter or any filter
that will be the same as if this 10 KOhm resistor?

i'm using 10KOhmic res and i would like to achive the same effect w/o using resistance that brings me loses!!!
but using filter at 15MHz freq

Thanks a lot,
Arye

 

You can calculate the reactance of L and C as follows:

\( X_L= 2\pi fL\)

\( X_C= \frac{-1}{2\pi fC}\)


For a tuned parallel LC circuit, the resonant frequency f is given by:

\( f= \frac{1}{2\pi sqrt{LC}}\)

 

Ok this one i know
but when i connecting it instaed of 10KOhm resistance it doesn't have the same stoping effect.. why ??
when i'm in resonance what impedance is equal in such case ?
and is it the same effect as 10KOhm?

Thanks

 

Looks like you will need 0.56pF and 200uH.

 

The resonant impedance would depend on the reactance of the components, and the Q-factor: information which we do not have.

For instance if C=50pF, at 15MHz Xc = 212Ω, and for a Q of 50 you would expect a parallel equivalent resistance at resonance of 10.6kΩ

But we don't know your circuit values.

 

Looks like you will need 0.56pF and 200uH.

Is that meant to be a joke? The OP may take it literally and go looking for a 560fF capacitor. He may be unaware that a real-world 200μH inductor could have parasitic capacitances greater than this value.

Edit: A few μH would be more realistic, the optimum value depending somewhat on how good a Q could be obtained, and how much parasitic capacitance you have to contend with.

At 15Mhz, don't expect miracles on the Q front. You might get past 10kΩ, just have to try it and see.

 

i'm using 0.7uH and 200pF what do you think about that,
it's important for me to use low inductance..

Thanks again,
Arye

 

I think that with an inductance as low as this, the resonant impedance may be fairly low. At 15mHz XL = 2πfL = 66Ω.

Achieving a resonant parallel resistance of 10kΩ would require a Q of 152. I'm not sure if you can get that at 15MHz.

 

Is that meant to be a joke?

Just checking to see how many folks pay attention to details or if they're even awake when they surf this forum.

 

does it means there is no way or other filter w higher order that i could achive this impedance? or ohmic resistance that i still dono if its the same in this situation..... 10Kohm resistance or 10 Kohm impedance does it mean the same in my situation?

You could only achieve the same impedance as the resistance at a single frequency. The 10K resistor is not dependent on frequency until you get to VHF and above where parasitics start to become significant.

 

I've told you what I can. Others, active radio hams or people who work with RF may have a better idea of what is / is not practicable. In the end it may be as well just to try it and see what you get.

Obviously the resonant impedance of a tuned circuit is not identical to a resistor. That may or may not make a difference in your application.

Unfortunately, it's now after midnight my local time, so that's all I have time for. Good luck.
