So easy ? I will try it. Thanks

Hi, here's an efficient 3-tap FIR filter that you might want to consider. The filter's 1st and 3rd coefficients are both ones. The center coefficient is -2cos(2*pi*Fn/Fs) where Fn is the notch location in Hz, and Fs is the sample rate in Hz. Good Luck, [-Rick-]

A high-pass filter should do the trick - don't need a notch normally. Rimmer

Hi,
thanks a lot for the tips. I will check.

Greetings Oliver

if the latter (digital filter), you can check out the biquad notch filter at the Audio EQ Cookbook at harmony-central.com . -- r b-j rbj@audioimagination.com "Imagination is more important than knowledge."

Be aware that if you have a signal contaminated by AC line noise, that
this line noise often contain harmonics of the 50 Hz (or 60Hz in the
US) as well.

If it sounds like a BUZZ instead of a hum, it has harmonics.

There are infinitely many, though I suppose you can limit yourselves to analog filters that are practical to construct and digital filters that fit in your time/memory constraints. Take a look at the Scientist and Engineer's Guild to DSP over here: http://www.dspguide.com/pdfbook.htm Read chapters 14-21. There are examples of exactly what you want to do. Charles

Hi,
I am searching a mathematical solution for a notch filter. 

I measured a signal with a ADC and I want to kill one frequency (50Hz)
out of the measurement data.

Does anyone of you know a mathematical function for a notch filter ?

best regards
Oliver
