This difference is achieved in the onepole by gain boost in the passband rather than attenuation in the stopband. A digital filter system usually consists of an analogtodigital converter adc to sample the input signal, followed by a microprocessor and some peripheral components such as memory to store data and filter coefficients etc. Richard quinnell provides the basics of filter design to get.
However, when a sinusoidal signal is first applied to the input of a digital filter, the output initially exhibits a region of transition referred to as its transient response. After all this, the 4pole filter is then realized by feeding the input data into the first stage, and feeding that output into the second stage. Good news for those who want answers without effort.
