Hi!
Ive been attempting to figure out the calculations for these eq's for awhile now. I know I am missing something plainly obvious, so I could use a guide in the right direction.
I am trying to determine the frequency ranges for the eq circuits in the 4th figure down.
http://www.geofex.com/article_folders/eqs/paramet.htmI want to find the values of C1/C2 and the respective eq range.
" the inductance is equal to the value of C2 times the 470 ohm resistor times the series resistance of the 51K and the setting of the 1M pot. Or more prosaicly, Leff = R1*R2*C, where R1=470, R2= series resistance, and C = C2's value."
SO for the example quote, this would equal 470 * 51000 * 0.02 = 479400
Moving on
"Doing a little math, we can come up with some values of the frequency range for an LC section. The L value is
Lmin = 470*51K C2 and Lmax = 470 1.05M*C2, or
Lmin/Lmax = 51K/1.05M = 0.048 or about a 20 to one range."
Im confuse how C2 relates to this example. I understand the range, but why is C2 not included? It doesnt appear that we are solving for C2.
Now here is where I get really confused. Im not sure what the value of L is. I presumed it was the value above (479400) If I enter C2 then get....
"The center frequency of an LC filter is F0=1/(2*pi*L*C),"
1/(2*3.14*479400*0.02)
=1.6607808593013028493685046860593e-5
What am I missing? I feel really dumb for not understanding this!!!
