{{About|roll-off in electrical network analysis|the dumpster|Roll-off (dumpster)}}

'''Roll-off''' is a term commonly used to describe the steepness of a [[Transfer function|transmission function]] with [[frequency]], particularly in [[network analysis (electrical circuits)|electrical network analysis]], and most especially in connection with [[filter (signal processing)|filter circuits]] in the transition between a [[passband]] and a [[stopband]]. It is most typically applied to the [[insertion loss]] of the network, but can in principle be applied to any relevant function of frequency, and any technology, not just electronics. It is usual to measure roll-off as a function of [[logarithmic scale|logarithmic]] frequency, consequently, the units of roll-off are either [[decibel]]s per [[decade (log scale)|decade]] (dB/decade), where a decade is a 10-times increase in frequency, or decibels per [[octave (electronics)|octave]] (dB/8ve), where an octave is 2-times increase in frequency.

The concept of roll-off stems from the fact that in many networks roll-off tends towards a constant gradient at frequencies well away from the [[cut-off frequency|cut-off]] point of the frequency curve. Roll-off enables the cut-off performance of such a filter network to be reduced to a single number. Note that roll-off can occur with decreasing frequency as well as increasing frequency, depending on the [[:File:Bandform template.svg|bandform]] of the filter being considered: for instance a [[low-pass filter]] will roll-off with increasing frequency, but a [[high-pass filter]] or the lower [[stopband]] of a [[band-pass filter]] will roll-off with decreasing frequency. For brevity, this article describes only low-pass filters. This is to be taken in the spirit of [[prototype filter]]s; the same principles may be applied to high-pass filters by interchanging phrases such as "above cut-off frequency" and "below cut-off frequency".

==First order roll-off==
[[File:First order RC circuit.svg|thumb|250px|First order RC filter [[low-pass filter]] circuit.]]
[[File:Roll-off graph 6dB.svg|thumb|250px|Roll-off of a first order low-pass filter at 6 dB/8ve (20 dB/decade)]]
A simple [[First order linear differential equation|first order]] network such as a [[RC circuit]] will have a roll-off of 20 dB/decade. This is approximately equal (to within normal engineering required accuracy) to 6 dB/8ve and is the more usual description given for this roll-off. This can be shown to be so by considering the voltage [[transfer function]], ''A'', of the RC network:<ref name=Jacob>J. Michael Jacob, ''Advanced AC circuits and electronics: principles & applications'', pages 150-152, Cengage Learning 2003 ISBN 0-7668-2330-X.</ref>

:<math>A=\frac{V_o}{V_i}=\frac{1}{1+i\omega RC}</math>

[[Prototype filter#Frequency scaling|Frequency scaling]] this to ''ω''c=1/''RC''=1 and forming the power ratio gives,

:<math>|A|^2=\frac{1}{1+\left( {\omega \over \omega_c} \right)^2} = \frac{1}{1+\omega^2}</math>

In decibels this becomes,

:<math>10\log \left({\frac{1}{1+\omega^2}}\right)</math>

or expressed as a loss,

:<math>L=10\log \left({1+\omega^2}\right) \ \mathrm{dB}</math>

At frequencies well above ''ω''=1, this simplifies to,

:<math>L \approx 10\log \left(\omega^2\right)= 20\log \omega \ \mathrm{dB}</math>

Roll-off is given by,

:<math>\Delta L = 20\log \left( {\omega_2 \over \omega_1} \right) \ \mathrm{dB/interval_{2,1}}</math>

For a decade this is;

:<math>\Delta L = 20\log 10 = 20 \ \mathrm{dB/decade}</math>

and for an octave,

:<math>\Delta L = 20\log 2 \approx 20 \times 0.3 = 6 \ \mathrm{dB/8ve}</math>

==Higher order networks==
[[File:High order buffered RC circuit.svg|thumb|500px|left|Multiple order RC filter buffered between stages.]]
[[File:Roll-off graph multiple.svg|thumb|250px|none|Roll-off graph of higher-order low-pass filters showing various rates of roll-off]]
A higher order network can be constructed by cascading first-order sections together. If a [[unity gain buffer amplifier]] is placed between each section (or some other [[active filter|active topology]] is used) there is no interaction between the stages. In that circumstance, for ''n'' identical first-order sections in cascade, the voltage transfer function of the complete network is given by;<ref name=Jacob/>

:<math>A_{\mathrm T}=A^n \ </math>

consequently, the total roll-off is given by,

:<math>\Delta L_{\mathrm T} = n \Delta L = 6n \ \mathrm{dB/8ve}</math>

A similar effect can be achieved in the [[digital filter|digital domain]] by repeatedly applying the same filtering algorithm to the signal.<ref>Todd, pp107-108</ref>

[[File:LC ladder circuit.svg|thumb|500px|LC low-pass ladder circuit. Each element (that is L or C) adds an order to the filter and a [[pole (complex analysis)|pole]] to the [[driving point impedance]].]]
The calculation of transfer function becomes somewhat more complicated when the sections are not all identical, or when the popular [[ladder topology]] construction is used to realise the filter. In a ladder filter each section of the filter has an effect on its immediate neighbours and a lesser effect on more remote sections so the response is not a simple ''An'' even when all the sections are identical. For some filter classes, such as the [[Butterworth filter]], the insertion loss is still [[monotonic function|monotonically]] increasing with frequency and quickly [[Asymptote|asymptotically]] converges to a roll-off of 6''n'' dB/8ve, but in others, such as the [[Chebyshev filter|Chebyshev]] or [[elliptic filter]] the roll-off near the cut-off frequency is much faster and elsewhere the response is anything but monotonic. Nevertheless, all filter classes eventually converge to a roll-off of 6''n'' dB/8ve theoretically at some arbitrarily high frequency, but in many applications this will occur in a frequency band of no interest to the application and [[parasitic capacitance|parasitic effects]] may well start to dominate long before this happens.<ref>Giovanni Bianchi, Roberto Sorrentino, ''Electronic filter simulation & design'', pages 129-130, McGraw-Hill Professional 2007 ISBN 0-07-149467-7.</ref>

==Applications==
Filters with a high roll-off were first developed to prevent crosstalk between adjacent channels on telephone [[Frequency division multiplexing|FDM]] systems.<ref>Lundheim, L, "On Shannon and "Shannon's Formula", ''Telektronikk'', '''vol. 98''', no. 1, 2002, pp. 24-25.</ref> Roll-off is also significant on audio loudspeaker [[audio crossover|crossover filters]]: here the need is not so much for a high roll-off but that the roll-offs of the high frequency and low-frequency sections are symmetrical and complementary. An interesting need for high roll-off arises in [[EEG]] machines. Here the filters mostly make do with a basic 6 dB/8ve roll-off, however, some instruments provide a switchable 35 Hz filter at the high frequency end with a faster roll-off to help filter out noise generated by muscle activity.<ref>Mayer et al, pp104-105.</ref>

STOMPer Vignes observed several property brokers standing near a wet market and hawker centre at Marsiling Lane and targeting the early morning crowd. After getting a History diploma from NUS, I turned a property agent. JLL acquires YY Property Solutions Sdn Bhd in Malaysia This web site requires theuse of a frames enabled browser International Property Strategic Alliance Personal Limited (GPS) is a subsidiary company of GPS Alliance Holdings Restricted, which is listed on the Australian Securities Alternate (ASX). By the way in which, there is also no actual regulatory body to screen out inexperienced brokers here. For instance, when I requested my own agent what documents I would want to apply for loan, she couldn't tell me, she might only recommend a banker I may seek the advice of with. However that's like primary information actual property brokers ought to know and be capable of advise their clients. That's when we type of lost confidence in property brokers in Singapore overall and their skill to get us a great apartment in a superb worth too. And we've encounter quite a few incompetent agents in latest past months. Whether you rent an agent or not, property funding is an costly business, so all the time do your individual research. Consumers can check out not too long ago transacted costs of HDB and personal properties at www.hdb.gov.sg or ura.gov.sg before setting their funds or selling price. Go to the unit at different times of the day and observe the neighbourhood. If doable, speak with the neighbours to get a greater feel of whether or not you and your family will fit in. It's also a good probability to find out in case your seller has a dubious past. inSing.com guides you on what to do and what to buy in Singapore. Hunt for the perfect [http://www.twentyonepilots.com/member/arnulfoz97iyenj www.twentyonepilots.com] meals, hunt down Singapore's finest restaurants, and be within the know of the most popular procuring deals. Get the latest Singapore movie show times, events, deals, travel packages, and enterprise listings, whereas staying knowledgeable on the latest Singapore information. A professional property agent in Singapore will help you and protect your interest all through the purchase, safe the provide for you at the best possible value. With a significantly better knowledge of Singapore, the agent will be in a better position to suggest and recommendation on the selection of property. He may also make sure that all paperwork are in order and you might be coping with the rightful proprietor of the property. Deal with of property Most property companies in Singapore use the same database of property listing in Singapore. It's advisable to make use of only one agent to your property search as most of the property agents will give precedence to clients whom engage him/her as their sole property agent. They know that by working laborious to your property needs, they are going to be remunerated. By participating multiple agents, the real estate agent may end up serving you only after they've attended to these whom use them solely. You may additionally end up viewing the identical property with totally different agent thus losing your priceless time. You should switch to another real property agent if the actual property agent you appointed is incompetent or don't perceive your property wants. Another expensive mistake is to base the pricing on how a lot you paid for or invested in your home. Bear in mind, if your private home shouldn't be priced competitively, consumers will reject it. Patrons who should be looking at your house might not see it as a result of it's overpriced. This may improve the time its takes to sell your own home. Even if you happen to finally lower your price, buyers are cautious as no one likes to buy something that nobody else wants. Every vendor needs to make as a lot cash as attainable from the sale, but a high itemizing worth finally sells for less than market worth. Hence you WILL NEED TO HAVE AN correct market evaluation to find out a competitive listing worth. I know it is a long posting and partially a bit of a gripe from me, but if it helps only one individual right here in Singapore get hold of their perfect house with the assistance of a good agent, then I am completely satisfied! Stamp duty is imposed on documents executed for the sale and buy of a property. Obligation will likely be computed on the market worth or buy price of the property (whichever is greater).
