Which of the following measures a filter's ability to reject signals in adjacent channels?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: C. Shape factor
Shape factor compares a filter's bandwidth at two attenuation levels, such as 60 dB and 6 dB. A lower shape factor means steeper skirts and better rejection of adjacent channels.
Tip: Shape factor: how steep the skirts are.
