Quality Factor


The quality factor or Q factor is a measure of the performance of a coil, capacitor inductor in terms of its losses and resonator bandwidth. Simple formulas can relate the variables.

The definition of quality factor is often needed to give a more exact understanding of what this quantity actually is.

For electronic circuits, Q is defined as the ratio of the energy stored in the resonator to the energy supplied by a to it, per cycle, to keep signal amplitude constant, at a frequency where the stored energy is constant with time.

It can also be defined for an inductor as the ratio of its inductive reactance to its resistance at a particular frequency, and it is a measure of its efficiency.
