Definition A high-pass filter is a circuit that passes high-frequency signals but attenuates signals with frequencies lowerthan the cutoff frequency. -3 dB Slope: 20 dB/decade (6 dB/octave) Cutofffrequency Stopband Passband f RC Filters
Description The simplest high-pass filter consists of one resistor and one capacitor. We call it the RC high-pass filter. -3 dB Slope: 20 dB/decade (6 dB/octave) A Cutofffrequency Stopband Passband f RC Filters
Description Let‘sconstructthegain-frequencycharacteristicofthe RC high-pass filter. Let‘s apply a voltage Vinof a very lowfrequency to the input of the circuit. If the frequency becomeslower and lower, the input voltagewillbecome a DC voltage. No DC currentcanpassthroughthecapacitorbecausethereisaninsulatorbetweenitselectrodes. No DC signalcanpassfromthe input ofthiscircuit to its output. 1 Av 0 f RC Filters
Description At zerofrequencytheoutput voltageVoutwillbezero: = The voltage gain Av is 1 Av 0 f = 0 f Av = 0 RC Filters
Description We have the firstpoint of the gain-frequency characteristic: At zerofrequency the voltage gain Av is equal to zero. 1 Av 0 f = 0 f Av = 0 RC Filters
Description Let‘s apply a voltage Vin of a very high frequency and ofanamplitudeof 10V to the input of the circuit. At a very high frequency the capacitor represents a short circuit – similar to a wire link. If the output pin is shorted with the input pin, there mustbe thesamesignal on it. 1 Av 0 f RC Filters
Description The output voltage Vout is the same as the input voltage Vin = 10 V. Therefore = The voltage gain Av is We have the second point of the gain-frequency characteristic: At infinitefrequency the voltage gain Av is equal to unity. 1 Av Av = 1 0 f f = ∞ RC Filters
Description Between these two points there is a point where the gain stopsrisingand starts to be unity. We call this point the cutoff frequency. 1 Gainis unity Av = 0,707 Av Gainis rising 0 f fc RC Filters

Description In thestopbandthelowerthefrequency, thelowerthevoltagegainAv. ThegainAvfalls off at 20dB per decade (or 6dB per octave, whichtellsthesame). When the frequency decreases by a factor of 10, the gain decreasesby a factor of 10 (i.e. 20 dB). When the frequency decreases by a factor of 2, the gain decreases by a factor of 2 (i.e. 6 dB). -3 dB Slope: 20 dB/decade (6 dB/octave) A Cutofffrequency Stopband Passband f RC Filters
