400HZ Notch Filter how to.
Looking to notch out a 400HZ whine from some audio circuits connecting
remote manned sites to a central location. The audio is microwaved from remote location to the central location. Would like to know the formula for determing the resistor and capacitor values. The overall bandpass is 300HZ to 3KHZ. Or would it be better to just use an High Pass filter. Problem with that is getting the inductors locally. Up here In Fairbanks our choices are very limited. Thanks. |

Extremely cool if it works. http://www.4qdtec.com/graph.html --Winston |

The R/2 can consist of a variable resistor to slightly tune the notch. Care in matching the components will result in a deeper notch but I think 5% parts should give at least -35dB rejection. BTW it would be far preferable to remove the offending interference signal at the original source than to try fixing it at the receiver. Asimov ****** .... Is reactance then illusory? No, it just appears that way... |

Extremely cool if it works. http://www.4qdtec.com/graph.html Since electrical supply is really limited at the sites in question, they are remote mountain tops, a passive device would be best bet. But you are right this device on your link looks very neat. Will try building it just to see how it works, may be able to use it at one of the microwave hub sites where I have more available electricity, and the audio circuits in question do go through another channel bank. --Winston |
