The bandwidth of a band-pass filter is measured between what two frequencies?

  1. AUpper and lower half-power
  2. BCutoff and rolloff
  3. CPole and zero
  4. DImage and harmonic
Why Filter bandwidth is defined between the two frequencies where the response has dropped to half the power of the peak, which is 3 dB down in voltage terms (0.707 of peak voltage). The span between that lower half-power point and the upper half-power point is the passband width. This same -3 dB convention defines bandwidth for resonant circuits, amplifiers, and receiver IF filters.
Watch out "Cutoff and rolloff" sounds plausible because cutoff frequency is a real term, but rolloff describes the slope of the skirts outside the passband, not a single defining frequency; the cutoff frequency itself is simply the half-power point.
Bandwidth = the -3 dB points. Half power, 0.707 voltage, top and bottom.
