97. Which of the following statements is NOT correct about Butterworth filter?
1. Butterworth is the most popular alignment type. [Option ID = 3217]
2. Butterworth is characterised by its moderate amplitude and phase response. [Option ID = 3218]
3. It exhibits the slowest roll‐off of any monoatomic (single‐slope) filter. [Option ID = 3219]
4. This is the only filter whose 3dB down frequency equals its critical frequency (f =f ). [Option ID = 3220]
Correct Answer : 3
Solution
Butterworth filter has a slower roll-off compared to the Chebyshev or Elliptic filters, it does not have the slowest roll-off of all monotonic filters. The Bessel filter actually has a much slower roll-off than the Butterworth filter for the same order (n). The Butterworth is "middle-of-the-road" in terms of roll-off speed.
