Impedance parallel formula in Matlab

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know how to calculate the parallel impedance in Matlab?

I would like to calculate the RL || Rc || Rf, how should I do?

[Jan]

How would you calculate it with pencil and paper?

Hi @Jan,

I know how to calculate it, I just would like to know, are any formulas in Matlab I can use?

I tyr to use parallel, but it can't work.

It is straightforward to create your own function to calculate it —

Zpar = @(z) 1./sum(1./z);                   % Calculates Parallel Impedance Of Impedance Vector 'z' 

RL = randi(1000);
RC = randi(1000);
Rf = randi(1000);
Rv = [RL RC Rf]

Rv = 1×3

220 386 722

Rp = Zpar(Rv)

Rp = 117.3548

See the documentation on Anonymous Functions for details if you are not familiar with them.
