What is a transition bandwidth?

This is the area between where a filter "turns the corner" and where it "hits the bottom". An example of this can be taken from a low-pass filter, commonly used in audio systems to allow the bass signal to pass through to a subwoofer, and cut out all unwanted frequencies above a defined point.

What is transition width of a filter?

Transition width is the difference between these two frequencies. In case of the figure above, the cutoff frequency is 50kHz, and the transition width is (60kHz - 50kHz) = 10kHz. If you use a FIR filter and use a small transition width, processing speed of the program will degrade, as more filter taps are needed.

What is stopband frequency?

A stopband is a band of frequencies, between specified limits, through which a circuit, such as a filter or telephone circuit, does not allow signals to pass, or the attenuation is above the required stopband attenuation level.

What is cutoff frequency of bandpass filter?

Generally, the dielectric band-pass filters can be used over the frequency range from 300 MHz to 100 GHz. For high-frequency applications, NRD waveguide filters (Figure 7.38) gain interests because of the extremely low-loss and low dielectric constant materials that can be used in the design.
