SUMMARY
The discussion centers on calculating the bandwidth of the filter defined by H(jw)=(3.84+5 (j w))/(5+j (1.11 w^2) in Mathematica. The bandwidth condition is established as |H|>1/Sqrt[2]*Hmax. A user successfully determined the bandwidth by plotting |H| alongside Hmax/Sqrt[2] and identifying the intersection points, although this method did not yield an exact answer. The conversation emphasizes the importance of expressing the filter function in real numbers to accurately find the bandwidth interval.
