Figure 7-2  Definition of Impedance
The following parameters can be used to represent the reactance.
where
In addition to these parameters, the Quality Factor (Q) and Dissipation Factor 
(D) are used to describe the quality of components.
where
In some case, for the inverse of impedance (Admittance), Y is used. Figure 7-3 
shows the vector representation of admittance. As with Z (Impedance), Y 
contains a real and an imaginary part, and it is expressed in rectangular form 
as Conductance and Susceptance, or in polar form as magnitude of 
Admittance and Phase. The following are expressions for Admittance.
