How do you calculate roll-off?
It is usual to measure roll-off as a function of logarithmic frequency; consequently, the units of roll-off are either decibels per decade (dB/decade), where a decade is a tenfold increase in frequency, or decibels per octave (dB/8ve), where an octave is a twofold increase in frequency.
What is roll-off in low-pass filter?
The steepness of the gain in the stop band is referred to as the filter's roll-off. All first-order filters have a 20 dB/decade roll-off. The same roll-off can also be specified as 6 dB/octave. An octave is a term borrowed from music and represents a doubling of frequency.
What is the relationship between order of a filter and roll-off rate?
The higher the order of a filter, the faster its rolloff rate is. The order of a filter is given as an integer value and is derived from the filter's transfer function.
