The plan is to either buy an existing assembled product,
or scale-up a pre-engineered and tested design.
I have never even considered trying to design my own.
Using an existing pre-engineered low-pass filter, such
as a Drake or Nye Viking, is also a very safe choice.
I'm looking for better numbers about existing filters
than the marketing departments have published.
