Theory:
A Bandpass filter is a circuit or device designed to selectively permit a
specific range of frequencies to pass through while attenuating those
below and above the predetermined values. It combines the
characteristics of a high-pass filter, allowing frequencies above a set
value, and a low-pass filter, allowing frequencies below a set value.
Essentially, a bandpass filter allows only a defined band of frequencies to
pass through.

Bandpass filters are categorized into two types. An Active Bandpass filter
involves external power sources such as transistors, while a Passive
Bandpass filter consists solely of passive components like resistors,
capacitors, and inductors without any active devices. This discussion will
focus on Passive Bandpass filters. Additionally, this article will touch
upon other classifications and aspects relevant to these filters.
FIG1.1
The first half of the circuit is a High-Pass filter which filters the low
frequencies and allows only the frequency that is higher than the set high
cut-off frequency (FH). The value of this high cut-off frequency can be
calculated using the formulae

FH = 1 / 2π*R1*C
The second half of the circuit is the Low-Pass filter circuit which filters
the higher frequencies and allows only the frequency that is lower than
the set low cut-off frequency (FL). The value of low cut-off frequency can
be calculated using the formulae
FL= 1 / 2π*R2*C2

Bandwidth= FH – FL
