Explain 3 dB cutoff frequency? Why is it 3 dB, not 1 dB? ..

Answer / marudhu

3 dB implies 1/2 the power and since the power is
proportional to the square of voltage, the voltage will be
0,707 of the passband voltage.

sqrt(0.5) = 0.707

Answer / 10dell

db is relative scale
3db down scale implies that Pout/Pin = half
