contrast sensitivity
(redirected from Cut-off frequency)

   Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
sensitivity, contrast 
The ability to detect luminance contrast. In psychophysical terms it is the reciprocal of the minimum perceptible contrast. The measurement of the contrast sensitivity of the eye is a more complete assessment of vision than standard visual acuity measurement. It provides an evaluation of the detection of objects (usually sinusoidal gratings) of varying spatial frequencies and of variable contrast and thus obtaining a contrast sensitivity function (CSF). Example: following amblyopia treatment, some cases still have the same visual acuity while the CSF is improved. See contrast sensitivity chart; contrast sensitivity function; spurious resolution; Arden grating test; Vistech.

It is essential to keep ambient noise as low as possible; this is carried out by an active low pass filter with cut-off frequency of 200 Hz.
In 1994, the company was the first to commercialize the SIEGET 25 family of ultra-high-frequency transistors with a cut-off frequency (fT) of 25 GHz.
Then come a phasing switch, the subwoofer cut-off frequency control, with a range from 50 to 150 Hz, and the subwoofer volume control.
