2.3 IMPLEMENTING A “NOTCH” FILTER WITH THE MF6
A “notch” filter with 60 dB of attenuation can be obtained by
using one of the Op-Amps, available in the MF6, and three
external resistors. The circuit and amplitude response are
shown in Figures 15, 16.
The frequency where the “notch” will occur is equal to the
frequency at which the output signal of the MF6 will have the
same magnitude but be 180 degrees out of phase with its in-
put signal. For a sixth order Butterworth filter 180˚ phase
shift occurs where f = fn = 0.742 fc. The attenuation at this
frequency is 0.12 dB which must be compensated for by
making R1 = 1.014 x R2.
Since R1 does not equal R2 there will be a gain inequality
above and below the notch frequency. At frequencies below
the notch frequency (f << fn), the signal through the filter
has a gain of one and is non-inverting. Summing this with the
input signal through the Op-Amp yields an overall gain of two
or +6 dB. For f >> fn, the signal at the output of the filter is
greatly attenuated thus only the input signal will appear at
the output of the Op-Amp. With R3 = R1 = 1.014 R2 the over-
all gain is 0.986 or −0.12 dB at frequencies above the notch.
