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.

How do you calculate the roll-off rate of a filter?
The roll-off rate of the nth-order filter is 20 × n dB/decade or 6 × n dB/octave, where “n” is the order of the filter (Figure 3). A “sharp” multistage filter may have a roll-off of 20 dB/decade, while a less-sharp single-stage one will have just a 3-dB/decade value.
What is the roll-off of a filter?
Rolloff: The slope of the filter's response in the transition region between the pass-band and stop-band. Rolloff is given in dB/octave (a doubling of frequency) or dB/decade (ten times the frequency). If the response changes rapidly with frequency, that rolloff is termed steep.
What is roll-off frequency in filters?
Roll-off is the steepness of a transfer function with frequency, particularly in electrical network analysis, and most especially in connection with filter circuits in the transition between a passband and a stopband.
What is the roll-off rate of the first order high pass Butterworth filter?
So a first-order filter has a roll-off rate of 20dB/decade (6dB/octave), a second-order filter has a roll-off rate of 40dB/decade (12dB/octave), and a fourth-order filter has a roll-off rate of 80dB/decade (24dB/octave), etc, etc.
