Electrical – Analyzing LC circuit with multiple inductors and capacitors

passive-networks

I have a problem understanding what's going on in a more complicated LC circuits with multiple inductors and capacitors

schematic

with the two capacitors having the same size and the two inductors different. How can I evaluate the resonance frequency of that circuit?

Best Answer

Simplify.

That means, look at subcircuits.

What is the difference between these two circuits? Is there any?

Answering that may let you redraw the original circuit in a form that is simpler to analyse.

I assume that mutual coupling between the inductors is small enough to be ignored, since it isn't mentioned in the question...

(Apart from the schematics, I think this ought to be a comment. Oh well.)
