What is Low-Pass Filter June 9, 2021 - A filter that passes frequencies below a certain frequency and blocks signals above this frequency is known as a low-pass filter. The point where this occurs is called the cut-off frequency and is typically the point where the frequency response drops -3dB from the passband. Ideally, the frequency response drops at the cut-off frequency, but …
