Hi,

for my electronics workshop, I compiled a short summary on low- and highpass filters and how they function once they are combined to a bandpass.

Special care was taken in regards to how they are combined (Low + High vs High + Low).

At the end of this document, you will find the complete \LaTeX code to compile the summary for yourself.
