filter

A low-pass filter is a filter that passes signals with a frequency lower than a selected cutoff frequency and attenuates signals with frequencies higher than the cutoff frequency. The exact frequency response of the filter depends on the filter design. The filter is sometimes called a high-cut filter, or treble-cut filter in audio applications. A low-pass filter is the complement of a high-pass filter.
In optics, high-pass and low-pass may have different meanings, depending on whether referring to frequency or wavelength of light, since these variables are inversely related. High-pass frequency filters would act as low-pass wavelength filters, and vice versa. For this reason it is a good practice to refer to wavelength filters as short-pass and long-pass to avoid confusion, which would correspond to high-pass and low-pass frequencies.Low-pass filters exist in many different forms, including electronic circuits such as a hiss filter used in audio, anti-aliasing filters for conditioning signals prior to analog-to-digital conversion, digital filters for smoothing sets of data, acoustic barriers, blurring of images, and so on. The moving average operation used in fields such as finance is a particular kind of low-pass filter, and can be analyzed with the same signal processing techniques as are used for other low-pass filters. Low-pass filters provide a smoother form of a signal, removing the short-term fluctuations and leaving the longer-term trend.
Filter designers will often use the low-pass form as a prototype filter. That is, a filter with unity bandwidth and impedance. The desired filter is obtained from the prototype by scaling for the desired bandwidth and impedance and transforming into the desired bandform (that is low-pass, high-pass, band-pass or band-stop).

    Oil fired boiler fires for 30-60 seconds then cuts out?!?

    Hello,boiler ran out off oil and the fella has filled up tank. He asked me to bleed so I went down and got the oil to the burner. It fires for 30-60 seconds then cuts out with the red lift on boiler coming on. There is a flow to the burner but won't stay on. Would this be oil pump maybe? It's an...

    Vaillant ecotec pro DHW

    Hi all, one of my neighbours was chatting the other day, complaining that his DHW was pathetic. Of course I volunteered to have a look. And it is pathetic!. It's dribbling out! Hot but dribbling!. Is there a filter in these things? Looked at his manual but it doesn't say either way. He did say...

    Whole House 3 stage water filter

    Having bought one of these from EMWC I find that when all 3 filters are in place the water will not go through the GAC filter. EMWC replaced this with a new onw but the problem is the same. Take it out and you get a decent flow - put it in and only a trickle comes out. Anyone come across this...

    Worcester Bosch system filter

    Fitted my first system filter from Worcester last week for the additional 1 year guarantee! What a joke, after all the system filters on the market are getting easier, slimmer, faster too fit, Worcester decide to bring out a filter that seems to be Stone Age compared to the modern magnaclean...

    RO/HMA filter system

    Hi there. To prepare water for my aquarium, I'm looking to plumb an RO filter and HMA filter to a mains tap. The idea is to have the water stored in a food grade storage tank, have the RO unit fill the tank to anything between 66% and 80% (yet to be determined) and once it reaches the desired...

    Powerflush machine

    Hi guys About to invest in a machine / filter system, what is the current best powerflush system? A lot of people speak of the magnacleanse but is this not just a filter, doesn't that need a powerflush machine to work alongside it? Thanks!

    OK to clean a Magnabooster filter?

    When I had a new boiler installed for our gas central heating last year I also had a Magnabooster fitted. It's about due for its next clean and I have just one concern: when I open the valve to flush out the dirt, the system will top up the water by taking in more water from the header tank...
