Abstract
The attenuation of pulse-like disturbances by low-pass line filters is not strongly dependent upon the shape of the steady-state attenuation curve of the filter. The performance of such a filter as a pulse attenuator is almost uniquely determined by its 3 dB-bandwidth f3 and by its high-frequency attenuation A ∞ . The latter quantity determines what fraction of the pulse seeps through the filter unaltered in shape. The 3 dB cut-off frequency determines the attenuation of a short pulse of duration Δ. The signal resulting from applying such a short pulse of height E to the filter has a duration of about 0.35/f3 with a peak magnitude of Exf3Δ. The factor x lies in the range 2 to 6. Pulses with a duration Δ > 0.35/f3 arc almost unattenuated.
