Upon completion of this chapter on active fillers, you will be able to: *

that shows the band of frequencies that they pass and stop.

1-92 Notch Filter Theory
\ ‘geshown in Fig, H-I4,a notch filter is made by subtracting the Output of a bandpass
ig ie notch filter's passband, the
+ nals and a signdl-frequency noi
ter from the original signal. For frequencies in the notch P pat of
the bandpass filter section approacties zero. Therefore, input E; is, transited via adr
input resistor R, to drive V, to a value equal to ~E;. Thus V, = —E; in both lover ‘and
upper passbands of the notch filter. i *:
Suppose that the frequency of E; is adjusted to resonant frequency f- of the arrow
bandpass filter component. (Note; f- of the bandpass sets the notch frequency.) E, wil exit
from the bandpass as — E; and we is inverted by Ry and 2 to drive V, to FE, However,
F; is transmitted via Rj to drive V, to -E;. Thus V, responds to both inputs of the adder
and becomes V,=Fi-~E;=0Vatf. = (£} ~£;). s
In practice, V_ approaches zero‘only at f,. The depth of the notch depends on how
closely the resistors and capacitors are matched in the bandpass filter and judicious fre
adjustment of resistor R, at the inverting adder’s onput. This procedure is:explained in

tentions. We use Eq, (11-17) to determine a value for Q that ie required by the notch
filler:
er ae
This high value of Q means that (1) the notch and component bandpass filter will have
narrow bands with very sharp frequency-response Curves, and (2) the bandwidth is
sentially centered on the resonant frequency, Accofdingly, this filter will transmit all fi
quencies from 0 to (120 — 6) = 114 Hz and all frequencies above (120 + 6) = 126 Hz.
The notch filter will stop all frequencies between 114 and 126 Hy.
