# Bandwidth Calculator

Calculate the bandwidth or selectivity of a resonator with the Bandwidth Calculator and learn on the go with the integrated live example

The formula to calculate bandwidth is:

$BW=\frac{f}{Q}$

Where
BW = Bandwidth in cycles per second*
f = Frequency in cycles per second*
Q = Q Factor

*The bandwidth can be calculated using any frequency unit that’s convenient, but keep in mind that the bandwidth will always be in the same unit that you use for the frequency.

Example: Calculate the bandwidth of a coil that resonates at 1360000 cycles/sec and has a Q factor of 460

$BW=\frac{1360000}{460}=2,956.522\; Cycles/sec$

Or

$BW=\frac{1360}{460}=2.957\; kc$
