To calculate
from data:
1- set the potentiometer at 3 or more positions (you can do just
the minimum, which is 3):
- a low-frequency position,
which should look like this:
- a high-frequency position,
which should look like this:
- and a mid-range frequency position
that is about between the two above.
2- For each case, apply formula:
for example, the top says:
In[4]:=
Out[4]=
Or,
The bottom one says:
Or,
3- Average
of the three cases. For those who want more rigorous result, do a
linear regression:
but it is not required.
