Schematic diagrams of the impedance (a) and phase (b) profiles (impedance and phase as a function of the input frequency f). a1 Band-pass filter (resonance). a2 Low-pass filter (no resonance). b1 Zero-frequency phase crossing (phase-resonance). b2 Monotonically increasing and positive phase (no phase-resonance). a The resonant frequency fres is the input frequency f at which the impedance Z(f) reaches its maximum Zmax. The resonance amplitude QZ=ZmaxZ(0) measures the resonance power. The half-width frequency band Λ1/2 is the length of the frequency interval in between fres and the input frequency value at which Z(f)=Zmax/2, and measures the system’s selectivity to incoming frequencies close to fres. b The phase-resonant frequency fphas is the zero-crossing phase frequency. The minimum phase ϕmin measures the magnitude of the negative phase
