TABLE 1.

Filter characteristics (−3 dB) for 3– and 5-point moving averages, using one or two passes. For example, for a 60 Hz system, applying a 3-point moving average once yields an effective 8.8 Hz filter

Sampling frequency (Hz) 3-point 3-point 5-point 5-point
One-pass frequency (Hz) Two-pass frequency (Hz) One-pass frequency (Hz) Two-pass frequency (Hz)
50 7.3 5.2 4.4 3.1

60 8.8 6.2 5.3 3.7

120 17.6 12.4 10.6 7.4
