What do you mean by 3 dB cutoff frequency? Why is it 3 dB, not 1 dB?..

Answer / ashish

None of you has explained, what happens if I take 4 dB or 5
dB point.
Every one knows that at 3 dB point, power becomes half....so
what?

What do you mean by 3 dB cutoff frequency? Why is it 3 dB, not 1 dB?..

Answer / john lam

A filter's cutoff frequency is generally, but not
necessarily based on the type of filters, defined at -3dB.
At this point, the voltage of the input has attenuated to
70.71%, or in power form 50%. After this point, the voltage
of the input will drop dramatically rendering it useless.
Therefore the -3dB point is picked as the cutoff frequency
point because of this nature. It's not chosen randomly.

*** Sorry, last one has typo errors by mixing up the two
percentages. This one is correct.

What do you mean by 3 dB cutoff frequency? Why is it 3 dB, not 1 dB?..

Answer / sigma 6

The question is only asking, why not any integer between 0
and 3 Db.


Answer No.5 grips the teory of the question, and answer no.
6 Explains the applicability for the question.

What do you mean by 3 dB cutoff frequency? Why is it 3 dB, not 1 dB?..

Answer / yesodha

3db value is the mean square value which is 70% of the
maximum value. the bandwidth found by using rms value will
be accurate

Mrudula at some extent you are correct can you pls make it
more clear

What do you mean by 3 dB cutoff frequency? Why is it 3 dB, not 1 dB?..

Answer / mrudula

3db implies 70%(o.7o7) of the power,i'e we r interested to
consider the bandwidth range from peak to 70% b'coz uptp
70% its reliable.hence 3db is called as half power freq
