What does a low-pass filter do to a signal?
A low-pass filter (LPF) is a circuit that only passes signals below its cutoff frequency while attenuating all signals above it. It is the complement of a high-pass filter, which only passes signals above its cutoff frequency and attenuates all signals below it.
How can I improve my low-pass filter?
How can we improve the performance of low pass and high pass filters? For a sharper, steeper cutoff you need to make the filter a higher-order filter. If it is a digital filter this is usually easy as most software filter programs allow you to adjust the order of the filter.
Why is there a delay in low-pass filter?
The use of a low pass filter is common to estimate signal frequency but the filter delay causes a phase shift that affects timestamps which are required to characterize Root-Mean-Square (RMS) PQ events. To accurately timestamp an electrical grid anomaly, the low pass filter delay must be compensated.
What Should low-pass filter be?
As a general rule, the Low-Pass Filter should be set at a value approximately equal to (or below) 70% of your main speaker's lowest frequency response. For example, your speaker's frequency response goes down to 43Hz. 70% of 43Hz equals 30.1, so you should set the subwoofer's low pass filter to 30Hz.
