A communication circuit designer frequently requires means to select (or reject) a band of frequencies from a wide signal spectrum. Resonant circuits provide such ®ltering. There are well-developed, sophisticated methodologies to meet virtually any speci®cation. However, a simple circuit suf®ces in many cases. Further, resonant circuits are an integral part of the frequency-selective ampli®er as well as of the oscillator designs. These networks are also used for impedance transformation and matc
