Notch FilterNotch filters have a band rejection characteristic. This function may be realised by a twin-T network composed of resistors and capacitors. Poles are confined to the real negative axis of the complex frequency plane, but zeros can occur on the imaginary axis. Therefore, the filter eliminates a center frequency while outside of the narrow rejection band frequencies may pass through without significant attenuation. Applications of the notch filer are found in the field of electro-acoustics where they are inserted into the signal paths of preamplifiers to compensate for room resonances. In automatic control systems they serve for cancelling mechanical resonance in complex transfer functions.
