Given a wide band signal with equal SNR over the whole spectrum, what should the stop band attenuation be for a decimation filter?
Imagine an incoming signal with $60$ dB SNR over the whole spectrum.
I want to decimate this signal by a factor of, say, $40$, while maintaining a $60$ dB SNR in the remaining frequency range.
What ...

Is there a recommended amount of attenuation for rectifying edge artefacts?
I just noticed that Spotify fades in/out the music when you play/pause - is this to avoid clicking?
This attenuation is noticeable; is there a minimum amount of attenuation required to fix clicking (...

When does a Window function's sidelobe level become out of band attenuation?
Another question I'm struggling to answer by myself.
For a Window function, say Blackman (response pictured), what is the out of band attenuation? If I'm designing a filter with out of band ...

Insertion loss equality - proof
From this paper (slide 11), the insertion loss (or attenuation) is defined as
$$
L(\omega^2)=\frac{\lvert V_i(j\omega)\rvert^2}{\lvert V_o(j\omega)\rvert^2}=\frac{1}{\lvert H(j\omega)\rvert^2}=10 \...
