Hi

I want your help to know what's the features of HPF and LPF, and their applications area?

Thanks

A high pass filter (HPF) allows the frequencies above a frequency, called the cut-off point, to pass while it attenuates the frequencies below the cut-off point. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-pass_filter

A low pass filter (LPF) does just the opposite, letting the low frequencies pass and attenuating the high frequencies. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_pass_filter

The low pass filter is often used to remove high frequency noise while allowing the low frequency signal to pass. There are zillions of other uses also
