The Pasternack tank circuit (also known as LC circuit, resonant circuit or tuned circuit) resonance calculator uses the simple formula (below) tocalculate the system's resonant frequency. A tank circuit refers to an LC circuit in which the inductor (L) is placed in parallel with the capacitor (C). Tank circuits are especially useful due to their property of carrying resonance, and are implemented in several electrical applications, such as filters, frequency tuners, and oscillators. Tank circuits are used either for generating signals at a particular frequency, or picking out a signal at a particular frequency from a more complicated signal. They are key components in RF, microwave and millimeter devices, particularly radio equipment, used in circuits such as oscillators, filters, frequency mixers, etc. and why a tank resonant circuit calculator is valuable.
