    Characteristics of a filter

    A filter has the following characteristics: Attenuation = 3.0 dB from 0 Hz to 2 kHz. From 2 kHz to 20 kHz attenuation increases from 3 dB to 23 dB in a straight line when plotted on axes of power in decibels (vertical axis) against log frequency ( horizontal axis). a. Is this a low pass, high pass, band pass or band sto
