Plotting the data points yielded by the spec analyzer of my first LPF yielded a result that was not expected: the desired cutoff frequency wasn't achieved because of some extra 100k resistance that wasn't taken into consideration. (see here ). I have redrawn the Bode graphs for this configuration so that it is easier to see that it is wrong (first attachment)
After some calculation adjustments, it was found that the capacitor value could remain at 10uF, but the resistance needed to be changed to 100k to maintain a gain of 0.5 and critical frequency at 0.1Hz. Second attachment is the Bode graph that results from this configuration.
Note: Bode graphs are both in Log-Linear scales (Wikipedia said so)
