Interpolating data of a bandpass filter with Q=10.4

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around interpolating data from a bandpass filter with a Q factor of 10.4, focusing on determining the transfer function for accurate analysis. The user seeks to extrapolate the peak frequency, Q factor, and amplification at the peak but struggles with the appropriate transfer function. A response suggests that the filter resembles a simple LC resonant circuit, with expected behavior of a 6dB per octave response away from resonance. The user clarifies that they are working with a universal second-order filter and requests guidance on the analytical expression, specifically regarding the term "a1" in the transfer function. The conversation highlights the challenges in fitting the data to derive meaningful parameters from the filter's response.

Hello everyone.
I'm trying to interpolate the data taken (frequency in Hz vs A in dB) from a bandpass filter with Q = 10.4.
The problem is that I'm not entirely sure about the transfer function that I should use to interpolate it. I'm trying to extrapolate the peak frequency, Q factor and amplification A at the peak. I've attached the data (the first column has frequencies and the 3rd has Vo/Vi in dB, the remaining columns are errors) and a plot of it. If anyone has any idea, I'd be very grateful cause I've been up all night trying all sorts of transfer functions but none seems to get even close. Thanks in advance

Looks like a simple LC resonant circuit. So, if it is a parallel LC circuit connected across the line, at frequencies well away from resonance the response will fall at 6dB per octave, as it looks like a single L or C.

Hey tech, thank you for answering :) I was in a hurry so I didn't have time to post the circuit, I'll attach a picture of it. It's a universal second order filter, and I'm taking the output at the BP exit. I'm looking for an analytical expression of the band pass filter so that I can extrapolate the peak frequency f0 and the Q factor. My book says it should be $$T(s)=\frac{a_1s}{s^2 + \frac{f_0}{Q}s + f_0^2}$$ but I'm not sure about what this a1 term is or even if I should set s=f/f0 or just s=f when I fit the data.

I am trying to understand how transferring electric from the powerplant to my house is more effective using high voltage. The suggested explanation that the current is equal to the power supply divided by the voltage, and hence higher voltage leads to lower current and as a result to a lower power loss on the conductives is very confusing me. I know that the current is determined by the voltage and the resistance, and not by a power capability - which defines a limit to the allowable...
