Abstract
Signals produced in nature are almost never experienced in their original form. Usually, we have access to them after they pass through various sensing and/or transmission devices such as a voltmeter, for electric signals, the ear, for acoustic signals, the eye, for visual signals, a fiber optic cable, for wide-band Internet signals, etc. All of them impose restrictions on the signal being transmitted by attenuating different frequency components of the signal to a different degree. This process is generally called filtering and the devices that change the signal’s spectrum are traditionally called filters.
