Abstract from DBPedia
    In physics and electrical engineering, a cutoff frequency, corner frequency, or break frequency is a boundary in a system's frequency response at which energy flowing through the system begins to be reduced (attenuated or reflected) rather than passing through. Typically in electronic systems such as filters and communication channels, cutoff frequency applies to an edge in a lowpass, highpass, bandpass, or band-stop characteristic – a frequency characterizing a boundary between a passband and a stopband. It is sometimes taken to be the point in the filter response where a transition band and passband meet, for example, as defined by a half-power point (a frequency for which the output of the circuit is −3 dB of the nominal passband value). Alternatively, a stopband corner frequency may be specified as a point where a transition band and a stopband meet: a frequency for which the attenuation is larger than the required stopband attenuation, which for example may be 30 dB or 100 dB. In the case of a waveguide or an antenna, the cutoff frequencies correspond to the lower and upper cutoff wavelengths.

    遮断周波数(しゃだんしゅうはすう)またはカットオフ周波数(英: Cutoff frequency)とは、物理学や電気工学におけるシステム応答の限界であり、それを超える周波数を持つ入力エネルギーは減衰または反射する。典型例として次のような定義がある。 * 電子回路の遮断周波数: その周波数を越えると(あるいは下回ると)回路の利得が通常値の 3 dB 低下する値。 * 導波管で伝送可能な最低周波数(あるいは最大波長)。 遮断周波数は、プラズマ振動にもあり、場の量子論における繰り込みに関連した概念にも用いられる。
