filter design techniques

Filter design techniques involve creating electronic or digital systems that allow certain signals—like specific sound frequencies—to pass through while blocking others. Techniques include using passive components (resistors, capacitors) for analog filters, or algorithms in digital filters. Design methods often specify how sharply a filter can distinguish desired signals from unwanted noise, how much signal loss occurs, and how the filter responds over different frequencies. Choices depend on the application, such as audio, communications, or electronics, aiming for optimal clarity and performance while minimizing distortion.
