Everything about Q factor
Resonator damping parameter
In physics and engineering, the quality factor or Q factor is a dimensionless parameter that describes how underdamped an oscillator or resonator is. Resonators with high quality factors have low damping, so that they ring or vibrate longer. For example, a pendulum suspended from a precision bearing, oscillating in air, has a high Q, while a pendulum immersed in oil has a low Q. Wikipedia →
