    The Q Factor: Your Crystal Filter's "Musical Note"

    Blog

    Think about tapping a fine wine glass. It rings with a pure, clear tone that hangs in the air. Now, imagine tapping a thick coffee mug. You get a dull thud that dies instantly. That difference in clarity and sustain? That’s essentially the Q Factor at work. In the world of radio frequency (RF) desi... read more
