One Pole Low Pass

Overview

Basic one pole low-pass filter serves as an important building block due to its utility in a vast number of applications including noise reduction, signal smoothing, and extracting relevant information from a signal. The 6dB/octave slope of the single pole filter is suitable for many non-critical use-cases and its simplicity makes it computationally efficient.

Constructors and Assignment

Expression Semantics

one_pole_lowpass(f, sps)
