Pulmonary Function Testing in Children
Spirometry is the most common lung function test done. It measures how much air is moved in and out of the lungs and how fast the air moves. To get the best results, your child will be asked to follow very specific instructions. Most children can do spirometry by age 6, though some preschoolers are able to perform the test at a younger age.

www.analog.compass band attenuation (Amin) defines the minimum signal attenuation within the stop band. The steepness of the filter is defined as the order (M) of the filter. M is also the number of poles in the transfer function. A pole is a root of the denominator of the transfer function. Conversely, a zero is a root of the numerator of the transfer function.
