What is 3 dB bandwidth of a filter?

The 3 dB bandwidth of an electronic filter or communication channel is the part of the system’s frequency response that lies within 3 dB of the response at its peak , which, in the passband filter case, is typically at or near its center frequency, and in the low-pass filter is at or near its cutoff frequency.

How do you calculate corner frequency?

This “Cut-off”, “Corner” or “Breakpoint” frequency is defined as being the frequency point where the capacitive reactance and resistance are equal , R = Xc = 4k7Ω. When this occurs the output signal is attenuated to 70.7% of the input signal value or -3dB (20 log (Vout/Vin)) of the input.
