The class of a filter refers to the class of polynomials from which the filter is mathematically derived. The order of the filter is the number of filter elements present in the filter's ladder implementation. Generally speaking, the higher the order of the filter, the steeper the cut-off transition between passband and stopband. Filters are often named after the mathematician or mathematics on which they are based rather than the discoverer or inventor of the filter.

Famous quotes containing the words important and/or classes:

    “I believe that I am letting my kids see that a man can be tender, sensitive, warm, attentive to feelings, and present, just plain there. That’s important to me, because I didn’t get any of that from my own father, and I am realizing now how much I missed it.”
    —Anonymous Father (20th century)

    “Journalists belong in the gutter because that is where the ruling classes throw their guilty secrets.”
    —Gerald Priestland (b. 1927)
