Capacitance C (nF)

Passive filters shape a signal's frequency content with resistors, capacitors, and inductors. An RC low-pass or high-pass has a cutoff at 1/(2πRC) where the response drops 3 dB; an RLC bandpass resonates at 1/(2π√(LC)) with sharpness set by its quality factor Q.

▶ Run in Python

Data Inspector

Cutoff fc1.6 kHz

Resonance f₀5.0 kHz

Quality factor Q0.32

Governing equation

∣ H (f) ∣ = \frac{1}{1 + ( f /1592 ) ^{2}}

Reading this result: Low-pass: signals below the 1.6 kHz corner pass, above it they roll off at 20 dB/decade, and the response is exactly 3 dB down right at the corner.
