Q Factor Modelling; How Poles and Zeros Relate to Q Factor
Knowles Precision Devices, recently released white paper based on Python Scipy.signal Toolbox to explore the theory behind poles and zeros and how these impact Q factor and filter performance. Quality factor, or Q factor, is a common shorthand figure of merit (FOM) for RF filters. It’s typically expressed as the ratio of stored versus lost energy per oscillation cycle. Steepness of skirts, selectivity, and insertion loss...
