For low-pass filtering of airborne gravity data processing, elliptic low-pass digital filters were designed and filtering influences of the elliptic filter order, upper limit passband frequency, maximal passband attenuation and minimal stopband attenuation were studied. The results show that the upper limit passband frequency has the greatest effect on filtering among four parameters; the filter order and the maximal passband attenuation have some influence, but instability will increase with larger order; the effect of the minimal stopband attenuation is not obvious when reaching a certain value, which requires a combination of evaluation indicator accuracy to determine the optimal value. The standard deviations of discrepancies between the elliptic filtered gravity anomaly with optimal parameters and the commercial software result are within 1mGal, and the internal accord accuracy along four survey lines after level adjusting is about 0.620mGal.
