With the given values, it's a constant-impedance network. I've used one many times in time domain circuit designs. Its impedance is a constant real value of 1000 ohms at all frequencies. Since "resonance" implies a single frequency (at which the reactance is zero), this circuit isn't resonant at any frequency. The circuit is often used in time domain applications (e.g., oscilloscopes) where it's sometimes necessary to provide a constant impedance load but you're stuck with a capacitive device input impedance. In that situation, the C is the input C of the device. However, the transfer function isn't flat with frequency-- you end up with a single pole lowpass rolloff, dictated by the R and C values. For anyone who cares about such matters, "resonate" is a verb, "resonant" is the adjective, and "resonance" the noun. A resonant circuit resonates at resonance. Roy Lewallen, W7EL |
