High Pass FilterA HP filter attenuates all frequencies below a designated cut-off frequency fc , & passes all freq. above fc. Thus the pass band of this filter is the freq. range above fc& the stop band is the freq. range below fc. An attenuation characteristic of a HP filter is shown in fig.

Low Pass Filter A Low pass filter is one which passes without attenuation all frequencies up to the cut-off frequency fc & simultaneously attenuates all other frequencies greater than fc. The attenuation characteristic of an ideal L P filter is shown in fig.
This filter transmits all frequencies from zero to cut-off frequency. The band is called pass band. The frequency range over which transmission does not take place is called the stop band.
fc = 1/ π(LC)½

Result/ConclusionThe frequency response of High pass, Low pass and Band Pass Filter has been plotted on the graph.
Discussion:High Pass Filter passes the frequencies above cut-off frequencies. Low Pass Filter passes the frequencies below cut-off frequencies
The Band Pass Filter is obtained by connecting Low Pass and High Pass Filter in cascade provided that the Low Pass Filter has cut-off frequency higher than High Pass Filter.
