Here are just a few examples of resonance in practice: Resonance is a physical phenomenon which appears in many forms and can occur anywhere in the frequency spectrum from low audio to GHz-level RF frequencies. The frequency at which this vibration occurs is known as the resonant frequency, designated F0. Resonance occurs when a physical object or electronic circuit absorbs energy from an initial displacement or source, and then maintains the resultant mechanical or electrical vibrations without an additional force or energy acting on it. What is Resonance and Resonant Frequency? This blog will provide a review of resonance-related issues including resonant frequency, factors affecting resonance in audio devices, how to use a frequency response curve, and challenges related to self-resonance in buzzers and speakers.

Electrical, mechanical, or mixed-mode resonance can be leveraged to provide design benefits or can be detrimental and negatively impact overall performance. Nearly all engineers are familiar with the concept of resonance and its many implications in system design.
