Low pass Filters are used to pass low-frequency sine waves and attenuate high
frequency sine waves. The cutoff frequency c is used to distinguish the passband (c)
from the stopband (c ). An elementary example of two passive lowpass filter is
given below.

The frequencies 1 and  2 at which the output power drops to one half of its values at
the resonant frequency are called the half-power frequencies. At these frequencies also
known as cutoff frequencies or corner frequencies, the output voltage is
| Vo ( c | 0.707 | Vo ( o ) | . This circuit which passes all the frequencies within a band of
frequencies ( 1     2 ) is called a bandpass filter. This range of frequency is known
as the circuit bandwidth.

The resonant frequency (  o 

LC
and C a desired resonant frequency is obtained, whereas by adjusting R, the bandwidth
and the height of the response curve is adjusted. The sharpness of the resonance is
measured quantitatively by the quality factor Q. This is defined as the ratio of the
resonant frequency to the bandwidth.
