Bandwidth
The RLC circuit may be used as a bandpass or band-stop filter by replacing R with a receiving device with the same input resistance. In the Series case the bandwidth (in radians per second) is
Alternatively, the bandwidth in hertz is
The bandwidth is a measure of the width of the frequency response at the two half-power frequencies. As a result, this measure of bandwidth is sometimes called the full-width at half-power. Since electrical power is proportional to the square of the circuit voltage (or current), the frequency response will drop to at the half-power frequencies.
[edit] Q factor
The Q factor can be expressed in terms of the three devices in the circuit, from the basis of the definition:
