Equation for bandwidth - correct units (cycles/sec or radians/sec)?
Equation for bandwidth - correct units (cycles/sec or radians/sec)?
(OP)
If the bandwidth for an RLC series circuit is defined as f2 - f1, then what are the correct units for the frequencies?
- http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/textbook/alternati... (about half way down) uses Hz.
- https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/RLC_circuit#Bandwi... uses radians/sec.
Is there a definitive reference for this?
Thanks,
Don C.

RE: Equation for bandwidth - correct units (cycles/sec or radians/sec)?
It's more convenient to put them in terms of Hz or radians (depending upon if you're dealing with straight frequency ranges, portions of the unit circle, etc.), but nothing says you have to... but your readers should understand what you mean, and keeping a standard helps.
