Definition - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Can anyone please define in detail about these???


1) What is the selectivity of a filter?


2) What is the mathematical expression for selectivity?

Hi Antonio,

Selectivity is usually another name for how much attenuation is available in the stopband of a filter in a given frequency range. It depends on what type of filter it is to what the mathematical representation will be. This is because different filter approximations will have different transfer functions. However, the more poles in the transfer function will make the resulting circuit act as the ideal 'brick wall'. A narrowband system will require a filter with very high selectivity while a wideband system will require a low selectivity.
