What is a notch filter EQ?

A word used to describe a very narrow band of frequencies to be cut by an equalizer. When an EQ circuit has a very high Q (narrow bandwidth) it is sometimes referred to as a notch filter.

What is a notch filter used for?

Notch filters are used to remove a single frequency or a narrow band of frequencies. In audio systems, a notch filter can be used to remove interfering frequencies such as powerline hum. Notch filters can also be used to remove a specific interfering frequency in radio receivers and software-defined radio.

How do you make a notch filter?

One way to build a notch filter is to construct it as a band-pass filter whose output is subtracted from the input (1 – BP). Another way is with cascaded low-pass and high-pass sections, especially for the band-reject (wideband) case. In this case, the sections are in parallel, and the output is the difference.

What is notch filter 50hz?

This new type of digital notch filter can be used for suppression of 50 Hz noise in the ECG. The filter is simple to design and easy to implement on most 8-bit microprocessors. It has a high execution speed, low analogue to digital noise, low recursive noise and good frequency response with no overshoot or ringing.

What is the purpose of a 50 Hz notch filter for biomedical applications?

A notch filter is typically an aggressive filter that strongly attenuates the power over a narrow region of the spectrum. For example, a notch filter at 60 Hz / 50 Hz is used to filter out power line noise with minimal disruption to the rest of the signal.
