4. 14.1 Some Preliminaries © 2008 Pearson Education Input signal Filter Output signal The action of a filter on an input signal results in an output signal

5. 14.1 Some Preliminaries © 2008 Pearson Education A circuit with voltage input and output

6. 14.1 Some Preliminaries   A frequency selective circuit, or filter, enables signals at certain frequencies to reach the output, and it attenuates signal at other frequencies to prevent them from reaching the output.   The passband contains the frequencies of those signals that are passed; the stopband contains the frequencies of those signals that are attenuated. © 2008 Pearson Education

9. 14.2 Low-Pass Filters © 2008 Pearson Education The frequency response plot for the series RL circuit.

10. 14.2 Low-Pass Filters   The cutoff frequency, ω c, identifies the location on the frequency axis that separates the stopband from the passband.   At the cutoff frequency, the magnitude of the transfer function equals (1 / √2) H max. © 2008 Pearson Education
