'''Roll-off''' is a term commonly used in electrical network analysis, most especially in connection with filter circuits, to describe the steepness of a network's [[transmission function]] with [[frequency]] in the transition between a [[passband]] and a [[stopband]]. The function of frequency most usually being considered is the [[insertion loss]] of the network, but could in principle be any function of frequency related to the network. It is usual to measure roll-off as a function of [[logaritmic scale|logarithmic]] frequency, consequently, the units of roll-off are either [[decibel]]s per decade (dB/decade) or decibels per [[octave]] (dB/8ve). Decade being a x10 increase in frequency and octave being a x2 increase in frequency. Note that roll-off can occur with decreasing frequency as well as increasing frequency.

This article is about roll-off in electrical network analysis. For the dumpster, see roll-off (dumpster).

Roll-off is a term commonly used in electrical network analysis, most especially in connection with filter circuits, to describe the steepness of a network's transmission function with frequency in the transition between a passband and a stopband. The function of frequency most usually being considered is the insertion loss of the network, but could in principle be any function of frequency related to the network. It is usual to measure roll-off as a function of logarithmic frequency, consequently, the units of roll-off are either decibels per decade (dB/decade) or decibels per octave (dB/8ve). Decade being a x10 increase in frequency and octave being a x2 increase in frequency. Note that roll-off can occur with decreasing frequency as well as increasing frequency.
