I assume you're referring to the algebra mistake?

Hi,
What that formula actually tested yet though?

I think this is getting a bit out of hand... Qp =wo·(C1·C2·R3·R4)/(C2·R4+R3·C1) is algebraically the same as Qp = 1/[(C2·R4 + C1·R3)· wo], since we define wo = 1/sqrt(C1·C2·R3·R4).
If dimensions are taken into account, both expressions arrive at a dimensionless factor. What I do is I define what is the natural frequency of the system and re-write it in a canonical form:
The I just take the terms that multiply s on the denominator and equate it to wo/Qp, in order to find the expression for Qp.

OK, now I see.

But the TF only has this form when the condition (R3*C1-R2/R1*R4*C2)=0 is met, for example if R3=R4=R, C1=C2=C and R1=R2 as suggested in the article you linked in your first post. Then you don't have to bother calculating Q, because it is equal to 1/2.
In most general case though, without any restrictions on R1, R2, R3, R4, C1 and C2 values, I think your method for determining Q is no longer valid. Or am I wrong?

I see your point, and it has been bugging me as well because I was getting an s term in the numerator. I really do not know of any second order transfer function that presents a complete quadratic term in the numerator.
Regarding (R3*C1-R2/R1*R4*C2)=0, yes the obtained TF and the one in the canonical form coincide just for the aforementioned condition. I do not know how does that relate to the method of obtaining Q.

I created Bode diagrams with component values exactly as in the article you mentioned: R3=R4=68kOhm, C1=C2=47nF, but I varied R2/R1 ratio. So w0 is for all curves the same: 312.891113892365 rad/s.
F1: R2/R1=1
F2: R2/R1=0.95
F3: R2/R1=0.9
F4: R2/R1=0.8
F5: R2/R1=0.7
F6: R2/R1=0.6
It looks like the Q factor changes according to R2/R1 ratio. Or not?

How then would you calculate the Q factor?
