The bandpass filter has adjustable frequency and‘Q’ (or 
Bandwidth) controls. These affect a range of frequencies 
symmetrically about the centre freqency as shown in the 
graph, gradually cutting the level, but providing no gain. 
 
Remember that ‘Q’ is 1/Bandwidth, so the higher the ‘Q’, the 
lower the Bandwidth, and the smaller the range of frequencies 
affected. 
 
Note that the response is fundamentally NOT a flat-topped 
response (so it is not constructed from a high pass and low pass). See previous page for details of how to construct a flat-
topped filter response.

The notch filter has adjustable frequency and ‘Q’ (or 
Bandwidth) controls. These affect a range of frequencies 
symmetrically about the centre freqency as shown in the 
graph. 
 
Remember that ‘Q’ is 1/Bandwidth, so the higher the ‘Q’, the 
lower the Bandwidth, and the smaller the range of frequencies 
affected. The notch filter depth varies with bandwidth – the 
wider the filter, the lower the depth will be.
