Ideal Low Pass Filter

 A filter is a frequency selective network that permits a band of frequency to pass through it
with little attenuation.
 An LPF is a filter that allows only low frequency signals to pass through it.
 The allowed band of frequency is known as passband and attenuated or non-passed
frequency band is known as stop band.
 An ideal low pass filter may be characterized by a gain of 1 for all frequencies below
some cut-off frequency B in Hz (Pass Band) i.e. distortion less transmission, and a gain of 0
for all higher frequencies (Stop Band).
 The ideal LPF has a linear phase of slope -t d , which results in a time dealy of t d seconds for
all its input components of frequencies below B Hz. Therefore, if the input is a signal x(t)
band limited to B Hz, the output y(t) is x(t) delayed by td ,i.e.
y(t) = x(t-td)
 The transfer function of ideal LPF is given by:

 The impulse response has peak amplitude of 2B centered at time td.


 The duration of main lobe of the impulse response is 1/B and build up time from 0 at the
beginning of main lobe to the peak value is 1/2B
 For any finite value of td there is some response from the filter before the time t=0
confirming that the ideal LPF is non causal.

System Bandwidth:
In the case of a low pass system, the 3-dB bandwidth is defined as the difference between zero
frequency at which the amplitude response attains its peak value H(0) and the frequency at which
the amplitude response drops to a value equal to H(0) /√2

Fig: LP System BW

In the case of band pass system the 3-dB bandwidth is defined as the difference
between the frequencies at which the amplitude response drops to a value equal to
1
2 times the peak value H(fc) at mid band frequency fc

Signal bandwidth:
The bandwidth of a signal provides a measure of the extent of significant spectral content of the
signal for positive frequencies.
A signal is said to be low pass if its significant spectral content is centered around
the origin, and bandwidth is defined as one half total width of main spectral lobe.

A signal is said to be band pass if its significant spectral content is centered around
±fc where fc is a non-zero frequency and the bandwidth is defined as the width of
main lobe for positive frequencies.
