In physics they talked about the "Q" of a mechanical circuit, which was a measure of its ability to reject off resonant frequency signals. I see how an LC circuit forms a filter, but i don't see how to change the Q of the circuit. Anybody have an explanation for me? Thanks in advance chris Chris Kostanick hao!ico!chris ucbvax!ucla-cs!ism780!ico!chris
