A quartz crystal filter is superior to an LC filter for narrow bandpass applications because of the:

  1. A crystal's low Q
  2. B LC circuit's high Q
  3. C crystal's simplicity
  4. D crystal's high Q

Correct answer: D — crystal's high Q. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.

Why

A quartz crystal filter excels at creating narrow bandpass applications because the crystal possesses a very high Q, which stands for quality factor. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
