Formula & Methodology

The transfer function of an LC low pass filter is given by:

H(f) = Vout / Vin = 1 / √(1 + (ωL / (Z0 * Z0 * C))²)

Where ω = 2πf, L is inductance, C is capacitance, and Z0 is the characteristic impedance.

Interactive FAQ

What is the cutoff frequency of an LC low pass filter?

The cutoff frequency (fc) is the frequency at which the filter’s magnitude response is 3 dB below the passband level.
