Describe the meaning of 40dB/decade roll off.
If a filter is having 40dB/decade roll off in a portion in its
specification, and the gain is 0.5 at 3.4 kHz, Calculate the gain
at 68kHz.
First we have to understand the meaning of decade. Decade means the 10 fold increase/decrease in frequency i.e the frequency changes by a factor of 10.
40 dB/decade refers to increase in gain by 40 dB when frequency is increased by a factor of 10. For example if the gain of a filter is 0 dB a 1 kHz, then its gain will be 40 dB at 10 kHz.
Now the calculation part for the gain of the given system at 68 kHz
