- Rich, I believe that is only true if there is no load connected across the shunt side of the L-network. In that case the L-network simply becomes a hi-q series resonant trap to ground (e.g. a near de

- Okay, I'll bite, Rich. I take the L-network, parallel the L and C, and then measure the resonant frequency using a GDO. I then re-configure the network back into an L and connect it to the load. If I

- Yes, agreed. But the loaded L-network is neither a true series nor true parallel network. The impedance ratio of the resonant L network (Xc=Xl) will not be infinite because there is a resistive load
