What is a band-pass filter audio?

A bandpass filter passes frequencies between its two cutoff frequencies, while attenuating those outside the range. A band-reject filter attenuates frequencies between its two cutoff frequencies, while passing those outside the ‘reject’ range.

What is a band-pass filter which are the two types of band pass filters?

A band-pass filter can be characterized by its Q factor. The Q-factor is the reciprocal of the fractional bandwidth. A high-Q filter will have a narrow passband and a low-Q filter will have a wide passband. These are respectively referred to as narrow-band and wide-band filters.

What is the difference between a band-reject and a band-pass filter?

Band-Pass and Band-Reject A band-pass filter, in contrast, passes frequencies that fall only within a relatively narrow range, and a band-reject filter (also called a band-stop or notch filter) passes all frequencies except those that fall within a relatively narrow range.

What is the difference between wide band pass filter and narrow band pass filter?

A narrow band filter is one that has a band width of less than 1/10th the resonant frequency (band width < 0.1 fc). A wide band filter has a band width greater than 1/10th the resonant frequency (band width > 0.1 fc).

What is narrow band filter?

Narrowband filters are designed to capture specific wavelengths of light. There is a large class of celestial objects known as emission nebulae, and their name arises from the fact that they are actually emitting their own light (as opposed to reflection nebulae, which shine by reflectedstarlight).

Why band reject is called notch filter?

If this stop band is very narrow and highly attenuated over a few hertz, then the band stop filter is more commonly referred to as a notch filter, as its frequency response shows that of a deep notch with high selectivity (a steep-side curve) rather than a flattened wider band.
