Low-Pass Filters
• Low-pass filters pass dc and the lower
frequencies, but block higher
frequencies.
• For a practical low-pass filter:
The resistor or inductor is in series
with the load.
The associated capacitor is shunted
across the line.
High-Pass Filters
• High-pass filters block dc and lower
frequencies and pass higher
frequencies.
• For a practical high-pass filter:
The capacitor is in series with the
load.
The associated resistor or inductor is
shunted across the line.
Pulsating DC
• Pulsating direct current or voltage
consists of:
An average dc value
An ac component that goes above
and below the average dc value.
• Filters can be used to separate the dc
and ac components.
RC Bypass and RC Coupling
Circuits
• An RC bypass circuit is effectively a
low-pass filter (often used to reject
noise).
• RC bypass circuits pass dc (0 Hz).
• An RC coupling circuit is effectively
a high-pass filter.
• RC coupling blocks dc (0 Hz).
RC coupling blocks
the DC component.

Cutoff Frequency
At the cutoff frequency (fc):
• The output voltage is reduced to
70.7% of maximum output voltage.
• XL or XC is equal to R.
• fc = 1/(2pRC) for RC filters.
• fc = R/(2pL) for RL filters.
• The phase angle is 45°.

The dB Unit of Measurement
• The decibel (dB) unit of measure is often
used to compare output to input.
• The formula for the dB power ratio is:
NdB = 10 log(Pout/Pin)
• The formula for the dB voltage ratio is:
NdB = 20 log(Vout/Vin)
The Half-Power Point
• The cutoff frequency of a filter is where the
output power drops to half of maximum
output (-3 dB).
fc = 10 log(Pout/Pin) = 10 log(0.5) = -3 dB
• Power varies as the square of the voltage. P
= V2/R
• Doubling the logarithm of a quantity is the
same as squaring the quantity.
fc = 20 log(Vout/Vin) = 20 log (0.707) = -3 dB
Bandpass/Bandstop Filters
Low-pass and high-pass filters can be
combined to pass or block a certain band of
frequencies.
• A bandpass filter passes only a selected
band of frequencies.
• A bandstop filter passes all frequencies
except those in a selected band.
