Bandwidth for bandpass filter?
Quick question...
How do I set the bandwidth for a bandpass filter?
I am trying to use a 2nd order filter to make a bandpass filter, centered at 3kHz and I need it to span about 4kHz of bandwidth. I'm not a filter expert so any help would be greatly appreciated.
The easiest way to make any filter in my opinion is with the Parametric EQ tool.This is located at:
Filters -> Second Order -> Double Precision -> Multichannel -> Parametric EQ
To make a bandpass you can use both a highpass and lowpass filter. For reference see this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Band-pass_filter
Here is a simple example that follows your filter specifications; I put the highpass at 1kHz and the lowpass at 5kHz (3kHz +/-2kHz). Note the frequency values mark -3dB points of the filter more commonly know as cutoff frequency:
Thank you.
That was exactly the answer I was looking for and very well explained.
