Hi All,

The expression that Rich mentions can easily be
derived. To be precise, one will get
f = ln9/ (PI x Tr) = 0.349/Tr
I do find some authors using the following expression:
f = 0.5/Tr
The frequency is referred to as Knee frequency.
I'm curious to know how this expression is derived.

Thanks,
Chandan
