Description

H03H covers impedance networks and resonant circuits, including devices that manipulate electrical impedance, filter signals, and resonate at specific frequencies. This subclass encompasses passive and active filter designs, LC circuits, crystal and mechanical resonators, and impedance matching networks used across analog and RF applications. The classification includes both lumped-element circuits and distributed-parameter networks designed for frequency-selective behavior. Related signal processing and modulation techniques are typically classified elsewhere in H03 (e.g., H03D for demodulation or H03L for oscillators).

Scope Notes

Limiting references: Waveguides, resonators, lines or other devices of the waveguide type
