Suppose you have a simple pot divider consisting of two equal value resistors, say 10K each. Across the upper one you connect a series LC circuit that resonates at 3KHz or thereabouts. If you drive this network from a low impedance source and plot the response across the bottom resistor, the Q of the resulting peak is not the Q of the series LC but rather is determined by the pair of LC values. For example, choosing l=150mH and C=18nF gives a Q of just over 2. Choosing L= 1.5H and C=1.8nF gives a much higher Q.
What I need is a simple means of calculating L and C given the pot divider resistor value and desired Q and f (assuming the Q of the LC itself is much higher).
