    """
    Butterworth low pass filter

    Parameters
    ----------

    highcut_frequency: float
        high-cut frequency for the low pass filter
    fs: float
        sampling rate, 1./ dt, (default = 1MHz)
    period:
        period of the signal (e.g. 25Hz base frequency, 0.04s)
    order: int
        The order of the butterworth filter

    Returns
    -------

    frequency, h: ndarray, ndarray
        Filter values (`h`) at frequencies (`frequency`) are provided.
