What is the purpose of a notch filter?
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 calculate notch filter?
The formula for calculating the notch frequency is, notch frequency= 1/4πRC, where π equals 3.14, R is the resistance, and C is the capacitance.
Why notch filter is used in ECG?
Several kinds of notch filters (analog and digital) were implemented for evaluation of the distortion caused on ECG signals. These filters were applied to ECGs of humans and rats and then distortion estimates were computed from their resulting signals.

Design Notch Filter
Design a direct-form I notching filter that has a filter order of 6, center frequency of 0.5, quality factor of 10, and a passband ripple of 1 dB. Create a notch filter design specification object using the fdesign. notch function and specify these design parameters. notchSpecs = fdesign.
