Bandpass

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Bandpass A bandpass is a type of filter that allows signals within a certain frequency range to pass through while attenuating frequencies outside that range. This type of filter is widely used in various fields such as telecommunications, audio engineering, and radio broadcasting.

Design Parameters[edit | edit source]

The design of a bandpass filter involves several key parameters:

  • Center Frequency: The frequency at which the filter's response is centered.
  • Bandwidth: The range of frequencies that the filter allows to pass through.
  • Quality Factor (Q): A measure of the filter's selectivity, defined as the center frequency divided by the bandwidth.
  • Attenuation: The reduction in signal strength outside the passband.
