Low-Pass Second Order Filter

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

The low pass filter can be used to filter out undesired high frequencies.

Gain K: The filter gain K determines the low frequency gain of the filter.
Frequency f: The filter roll off starts at frequency f in Hz. Lower frequencies will pass the filter, higher frequencies will be filtered out.
Quality Q: The filter quality indicates how steep the phase response will decrease at the frequency f. A quality Q > 0.707 results in a peak in the magnitude response at frequency f.
