The order of the filter affects the steepness of its roll-off. The higher the order, the sharper the transition between the pass band and the stop band. An example demonstrating the impact of the filter order is shown below. | The order of the filter affects the steepness of its roll-off.

== | ==Relaxed constraints on the cut-off frequency== | ||
To guarantee the stability of the filter, there are certain constraints on the value of the cut-off frequency. Compared with previous version of NVGate, such constraints are relaxed significantly now. | To guarantee the stability of the filter, there are certain constraints on the value of the cut-off frequency.
