  2. Resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonance

    As shown in the figure, resonance may also occur at other frequencies near the resonant frequency, including ω 0, but the maximum response is at the resonant frequency. Also, ω r is only real and non-zero if ζ < 1 / 2 {\textstyle \zeta <1/{\sqrt {2}}} , so this system can only resonate when the harmonic oscillator is significantly underdamped.

  3. Crystal oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_oscillator

    A crystal oscillator is an electronic oscillator circuit that uses a piezoelectric crystal as a frequency-selective element. [1] [2] [3] The oscillator frequency is often used to keep track of time, as in quartz wristwatches, to provide a stable clock signal for digital integrated circuits, and to stabilize frequencies for radio transmitters and receivers.

  4. Resonator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonator

    Systems with one degree of freedom, such as a mass on a spring, pendulums, balance wheels, and LC tuned circuits have one resonant frequency. Systems with two degrees of freedom, such as coupled pendulums and resonant transformers can have two resonant frequencies. A crystal lattice composed of N atoms bound together can have N resonant ...

  5. Harmonic oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_oscillator

    Below is a table showing analogous quantities in four harmonic oscillator systems in mechanics and electronics. If analogous parameters on the same line in the table are given numerically equal values, the behavior of the oscillators – their output waveform, resonant frequency, damping factor, etc. – are the same.

  6. Mechanical resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_resonance

    Mechanical resonance is the tendency of a mechanical system to respond at greater amplitude when the frequency of its oscillations matches the system's natural frequency of vibration (its resonance frequency or resonant frequency) closer than it does other frequencies. It may cause violent swaying motions and potentially catastrophic failure in ...

  7. LC circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LC_circuit

    The frequency at which this equality holds for the particular circuit is called the resonant frequency. The resonant frequency of the LC circuit is =, where L is the inductance in henries, and C is the capacitance in farads. The angular frequency ω 0 has units of radians per second.

  8. RLC circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RLC_circuit

    The resonant frequency for a driven RLC circuit is the same as a circuit in which there is no damping, hence undamped resonant frequency. The resonant frequency peak amplitude, on the other hand, does depend on the value of the resistor and is described as the damped resonant frequency.

  9. Electrical resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resonance

    Electrical resonance occurs in an electric circuit at a particular resonant frequency when the impedances or admittances of circuit elements cancel each other. In some circuits, this happens when the impedance between the input and output of the circuit is almost zero and the transfer function is close to one.
