Filters are circuits whose
gain varies with frequency. Typically filters are used
not
to allow some, but all to
frequencies pass
contain only passive components (R,C,1)

Allows low w to pass, attenuates high frequencies to
minimum
gain, due to presence
of resistor in series with C.
The order
of a filter is the highest power join the denominator. Almost
always
equals power of 1/C.
