  2. [SOLVED] 3dB & Cutoff frequency question - Forum for Electronics

    Jun 27, 2012 · Re: 3dB & Cutoff frequency question I believe the 3dB cutoff became a convention because, in a basic RC or RL filter, 3dB is the drop at the frequency where reactance in a capacitor …

  3. [SOLVED] - Why -3dB frequency is used as the reference for the cut-off ...

    Jun 20, 2009 · Hi, I have observed that -3dB is usually taken as a reference point to denote the cut-off frequency of a filter. What is the significance of this -3dB point? Why not -5dB or -10dB?

  4. what is 3dB frequency | Forum for Electronics

    May 18, 2009 · 3db frequency formula You can pick all kinds of arbitrary definitions of bandwidths, just like you can pick all kinds of arbitrary definitions of beamwidths for antennas. 3dB is commonly used …
