Band-pass and stop-band filters
</H2>
<P>
A
<A NAME="10086"></A><A NAME="10087"></A><I>band-pass filter</I>
admits frequencies within a given band, rejecting frequencies below it and
above it. Figure <A HREF="#fig08.03">8.3</A> shows the frequency response of a band-pass
filter, with the key parameters labelled. A stop-band filter
does the reverse, rejecting frequencies within the band and letting through
frequencies outside it.

Terminology for describing the frequency response of band-pass and
stop-band filters. The horizontal axis is frequency and the vertical
axis is gain. A band-pass filter is shown; a stop-band filter would have a
contiguous stopband surrounded by two passbands.</CAPTION>

<P>
In practice, a simpler language is often used for describing bandpass filters,
as shown in Figure <A HREF="#fig08.04">8.4</A>. Here there are only two parameters: a
<A NAME="10096"></A><I>center frequency</I>
and a
<A NAME="10098"></A><I>bandwidth</I>.
The passband is considered to be the region where the filter has at least half
the power gain as at the peak (i.e., the gain is within 3 decibels of its
maximum). The bandwidth is the width, in frequency units, of the passband.
The center frequency is the point of maximum gain, which is approximately the
midpoint of the passband.
