Expert Tips
- Always ensure your sample rate is at least twice the highest frequency of interest.
- Higher filter orders provide better attenuation but increase complexity and latency.
Interactive FAQ
What is the purpose of a low pass filter?
A low pass filter allows low-frequency signals to pass while attenuating (reducing the amplitude of) signals with frequencies higher than a selected cutoff frequency.
