How do I calculate the cutoff frequency of a low pass rc circuit?

The specific formula applies only for a first order RC low pass filter. This is derived from its frequency response: $$H(j\omega)=\frac{1}{1+j\omega RC}$$ The cutoff frequency is defined as the freq …

Deriving 2nd order passive low pass filter cutoff frequency

In my opinion this 'cut-off' frequency is not defined as the -3dB point. The real transfer function is: $$ H(s)=\frac{1}{s^2R_1R_2C_1C_2+s(R_1C_1+R_1C_2+R_2C_2)+1}$$ The 'common form' of a second ord …
