Does quality factor of a resonator depend on the excitation signal?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The quality factor of a resonator is a property intrinsic to the system itself and does not depend on the excitation signal applied. This conclusion establishes that the quality factor remains constant regardless of variations in the excitation signal. Understanding this principle is crucial for accurate analysis and design in resonator applications.

Hi

I am curious to know if quality factor of a resonator depends on the excitation signal or if it stay the same irrespective of the signal applied?

Thanks

It is a property of the system, not of the excitation.
