TASK $5$

Consider the combined series$-$parallel RLC circuit shown below.

a$)$ The above circuit is part of a receiver precisely tuned to a weather satellite, sending data back to an

earth station. The theoretical resonant frequency of the circuit is given by:

f$\_($r$)=(1)/(2$pisqrt$($LC$))$

Use this equation to determine the value of the resonant frequency.

c$)$ Without the use of a simulator, traditional circuit analysis methods would be used to determine cir$-$

cuit currents and voltages. Two of these methods are given below. Explain, in words only, how each of

these two methods would be applied to analyse the above band$-$pass filter. Note, that no mathemati$-$

cal analysis is actually required.

i$.$ Mesh $($Loop$)$ Analysis

ii$.$ Nodal Analysis.
