"Right; I was thinking about the hot resistor in the RLC circuit. If
you
have an ideal LC resonantor with zero bandwidth and infinite Q, and then
you wiggle the capacitor plates to add some FM, the losses are still
zero
so the Q is still infinite. But now is the bandwidth the extent of the
sidebands, or do we follow the peak around and then declare that the
bandwidth is still zero? :)"
Of course, no circuit containing a resistor will ever have "infinite
Q".
