  Frequency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frequency is the measurement of the number of times that a repeated event occurs per unit time.
Measuring the frequency of sound, electromagnetic waves (such as radio or light), electrical signals, or other waves, the frequency in hertz is the number of cycles of the repetitive waveform per second.
The frequency of the standard pitch A above middle C is usually defined as 440 Hz, that is, 440 cycles per second (Listen [▶]) and known as concert pitch, to which an orchestra tunes.

 Cutoff frequency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The frequency either above which or below which the power output of a circuit, such as a line, amplifier, or filter, is reduced to 1/2 of the passband power; the half-power point.
A bandpass circuit has two cutoff frequencies and their geometric mean is the center frequency.
The term cutoff frequency can also mean the frequency below which a radio wave fails to penetrate a layer of the ionosphere at the incidence angle required for transmission between two specified points by reflection from the layer.

In an ideally sharp filter, the cutoff frequency is a kind of brick wall: anything outside it is maximally attenuated, dividing the frequency response neatly into a pass band and a stop band.
In actual filters, the slope of the filter leading up to the cutoff frequency is not linear (there is a slight ripple in the frequency response), and the area between the pass band and the stop band is called the transition band.
The distance between the higher and lower cutoff frequencies in a band pass filter is called the bandwidth of the filter.

In the case of the lower cutoff frequency, this means that at the cutoff frequency one of the external capacitors is behaving like a capacitor but the operating frequency is sufficiently high that all of the other external capacitors are behaving like short circuits.
Similarly, in the case of the upper cutoff frequency, this means that at the cutoff frequency one of the internal capacitors is behaving like a capacitor but the operating frequency is sufficiently low that all of the other capacitors are behaving like open circuits.

 Dispersion - Microwave Encyclopedia - MicroWaves101.com
Frequency dispersion refers to the property of microwave transmission lines that have different group velocity versus frequency.
For wideband signals, you may have to worry about the effects of dispersion distorting your signal, for example, when you are trying to put a one nanosecond pulse through a waveguide near the lower cutoff frequency, you could be in a heap of trouble.
Note that the stripline provides a constant group delay of 1.54 nanoseconds across frequency, which is very close to the one nanosecond per foot rule, multiplied by the square-root of the dielectric constant.

 Low pass filter circuit device and method having selectable cutoff frequency - Patent 5296822
Similarly, the low pass cutoff frequencies of clock driven filter stage succeeding the intermediate stage having the selectable cutoff frequency are adjusted to eliminate staircasing distortion in the output signal.
Generally, these higher frequencies are eliminated utilizing a nonswitching operational-amplifier-based low pass filter at the input of the clock driven filter having a fixed cutoff frequency slightly greater than the highest predicted cutoff frequency at which the clock driven filter will be operated.
The overall selectable low pass cutoff frequency of the device is eventually determined at an intermediate stage 35, which may be the middle stage where N is odd.

If the cutoff is low, the sound will be "woofy" or "honky." With a higher cutoff, the sound will be more nasal, and with a high cutoff there will be a pronounced sizzle or a laser-like cutting edge.
The cutoff frequency of the lowpass filter is set to, let's say, 600 Hz, so when you play the low C all of the overtones are below the cutoff frequency of the filter, and pass through the filter without being attenuated.
If the cutoff is at 600 Hz when you play low C, it will be at 4,800 Hz when you play Middle C (because each octave doubles the frequency), and all of the overtones of our example wave will still be heard.

 Seventh Quarterly Progress Report
Scores for the cutoff frequency of 12.5 Hz, for instance, appear to be lower than the scores for higher cutoff frequencies, at least for the male talker.
Similarly, the maximum score for consonants in quiet is at the rate of 6900 pulses/s/channel and the cutoff frequency of 500 Hz, and the maximum score for consonants presented in noise at the +10 dB S/N is at that rate and the nearby cutoff frequency of 250 Hz.
A further increase in cutoff frequency, from 1000 to 2000 Hz, produces a significant drop in averages for the +5 dB S/N. In particular, the average at the 125 Hz cutoff is significantly higher than the average at 2000 Hz.

 cutoff frequency at Filtronetics, Inc.
The 3dB cutoff frequency of a lowpass filter is defined as the highest frequency where 3dB or less of attenuation occurs.
Conversely, the 3dB cutoff frequency of a highpass filter is defined as the lowest frequency where 3dB or less of attenuation occurs.
The term 3dB cutoff frequency is used in conjunction with lowpass and high pass filters when defining the passband of the filter.

 Synthesizers.com  ---  Q107 State Variable Filter
Both the cutoff frequency and the resonance (Q) of the filter can be controlled manually and/or controlled by another signal such as an envelope generator, oscillator, keyboard, etc. Control signals can be attenuated and inverted.
The frequency at which attenuation starts (or close enough) is called the cutoff frequency.
Resonance is the emphasis of frequencies near the cutoff frequency and has a great effect on the sound.

For example, a 5 cm wide guide has lowest cutoff frequency for lambda = 10 cm or frequency = 3 GHz.
A 50 cm guide has cutoff 300 MHz and a 5 metre guide has cutoff 30 MHz (eg a tunnel...like into London Heathrow airport).
If the guide is filled with dielectric of relative permittivity epsilon, then the velocity to be used is c/sqrt(epsilon) so if epsilon = 4 then the guide dimensions are halved for the same cutoff frequency, or the cutoff frequency is halved for the same guide dimensions.

In electronic filter theory, the cutoff frequency of a filter is generally defined as the frquency at which the filter's response is down by 3dB.
An antenna, using this defination, would have at least TWO "cutoff frequencies;" a low frequency and a high frequency.
I said "at least" TWO frequencies because (unlike most filters) a resonant antenna can often be made to operate at frequencies other than the base frequency.

 Olympus Microscopy Resource Center: Anatomy of the Microscope - Cutoff Frequency and Airy Disk Size - Interactive Java ...
As the slider is moved to the right, cutoff frequency values decrease, producing a corresponding increase in Airy disk size and the intensity distribution of the point spread function.
According to Abbe's theory of image formation, the objective rear aperture determines the highest spatial frequency passed by a microscope, which represents the cutoff frequency of the modulation transfer function.
This relationship expresses, in terms of spatial frequency, the fact that resolution in the microscope increases with larger numerical apertures and shorter illumination wavelengths.

In many situations, a suitable cutoff frequency is half the carrier frequency.
Because the carrier frequency must be higher than the bandwidth of the message signal, a cutoff frequency chosen in this way limits the bandwidth of the message signal.
If the cutoff frequency is too low, then it might narrow the bandwidth of the message signal.

I have been smoothing the data using a Butterworth 4th Order digital filter with cutoff frequencies ranging from 1 to 60Hz and subsequently calculating the residual as the mean square difference between the filtered and raw data.
Having plotted the residual against cutoff frequency I have been attempting to determine the optimal cutoff frequency by projecting the linear part of the resulting curve to the vertical axis and then back to the curve to determine the cutoff.
The calculated optimal cutoff frequency is affected to a great extent by what range I define as the linear part of the curve.
