A first order low pass filter consists of an inductor in series with the load resistor or a capacitor in parallel with the load. The filters designed in this lab were limited to first or second order filters.
Generally these filters are preferable below 100 khz. Pdf filters are frequency selective circuits that passes a specified band of frequencies and block or attenuates signals or frequencies outside. Poles, zeroes, and filter order both the high pass and low pass rc filters we have seen had skirts that slope down at 6 db per octave, which is the same as 20 db per decade. The first order high pass filter requires a capacitor with a very high capacity and thus causes very high fundamental losses, and therefore, is seldom used.
