Why Butterworth Filter Is Flat?

Filters in Control Systems
Butterworth filters are called maximally flat filters because, for a given order, they have the sharpest roll-off possible without inducing peaking in the Bode plot. The two-pole filter with a damping ratio of 0.707 is the second-order Butterworth filter.

What are the most important factors to design the Butterworth filter?

Butterworth Approximations

We know the output frequency response and phase response of low pass and high pass circuits also. The ideal filter characteristics are maximum flatness, maximum pass band gain and maximum stop band attenuation. To design a filter, proper transfer function is required.

What is special about Butterworth filter?

The Butterworth filter is a type of signal processing filter designed to have a frequency response that is as flat as possible in the passband. It is also referred to as a maximally flat magnitude filter.
