Problem 1
We would like to build an AM radio receiver using a series RLC circuit to act as a bandpass filter
as shown in the figure below. We have decided to use a 500 μH inductor, 25 Q resistor, and a
variable capacitor whose capacitance can be adjusted between 20 and 150 pF. A radio “tunes” into
a certain frequency by adjusting its receiver circuit so that it resonates at a specific center frequency
with some amount of bandwidth.
