I am currently playing with some low pass Chebyshev filter designs. From the .01dB, .1dB, .5dB and 1.0dB of ripple. I was wondering what the advantage of using a higher or lower ripple over the others. I know the chebyshev has a steeper drop verses say the butterworth. From what I have read and understand, the more ripple, the steeper the initial decent or cutoff. Any comments or suggestions, please let me know.
