where,


fc is the cutoff frequency,


Z 0 is the line impedance.


23.2.3.3 Parallel Resonant Elements


A parallel resonant circuit element has impedance that
is at a maximum at the resonant frequency (Fig. 23-9).
The impedance of the element is given by


(23-27)

where,


Z is the impedance,


XL is the reactance of the inductor,


XC is the reactance of the capacitor.


At very low frequencies, the reactance of the
inductor approaches a short circuit, reducing the overall
impedance. At high frequencies, the reactance of the
capacitor approaches a short circuit, reducing the
overall impedance.

23.2.3.4 Series Resonant Elements

A series resonant circuit element has impedance that is
at a minimum at the resonant frequency. The impedance
of the element is given by

(23-28)

where,
Z is the impedance,
XL is the reactance of the inductor,
XC is the reactance of the capacitor.

At very low frequencies, the reactance of the capac-
itor approaches an open circuit, increasing the overall
impedance. At high frequencies, the reactance of the
inductor approaches an open circuit, increasing the
overall impedance.
