What is 3 dB bandwidth?

The half-power or 3-dB bandwidth is the width of the range of positive frequencies where a peak value at zero or infinite frequency (low-pass and high-pass signals) or at a center frequency (bandpass signals) is attenuated to 0.707 the value at the peak.

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.
