Description 

In audio applications a simple moving average (SMA) is the unweighted mean of the previous n samples. An example of a simple equally weighted running mean for a n-day sample of closing price is the mean of the previous n days' closing prices. If those prices are k1, k2, k3, … ,kn then he formula is
 
            SMA = (k1+k2+k3+…+kn) / n
 
  
 
A high-pass filter (HPF) is an digital implementation filter that passes high-frequency signals but attenuates (reduces the amplitude of) signals with frequencies lower than the cutoff frequency.  High-pass filters have many uses, such as blocking DC from circuitry. They can also be used in conjunction with a low-pass filter to make a bandpass filter.


Sound below the cutoff frequency is not eliminated but increasingly attenuated as the frequency falls further below the cutoff. The steepness of the attenuation is set by the rolloff value. For example, with a rolloff of 6 dB per octave, the sound decreases by 6... more 
 
A low-pass filter is an electronic filter that passes low-frequency signals and attenuates (reduces the amplitude of) signals with frequencies higher than the cutoff frequency. T It is sometimes called a high-cut filter, or treble cut filter when used in audio applications. A low-pass filter is the opposite of a high-pass filter.

A band-pass filter is a device that passes frequencies within a certain range and rejects (attenuates) frequencies outside that range.
 
Optical band-pass filters are of common usage.
 
An example of an analogue electronic band-pass filter is an RLC circuit (a resistor–inductor–capacitor circuit). These filters can also be created by combining a low-pass filter with a high-pass filter.[1]
 
Bandpass is an adjective that describes a type of filter or filtering process; it is to be distinguished from passband, which refers to the actual portion of affected spectrum. Hence, one might say "A dual bandpass filter has two passbands."... more
