Do you mean: H(z)= (1-z^-N)/(1-(z/alpha)^-N) where mag (alpha)<1 ? Takes out the harmonics too! Dirk

H(z)= 1-z^-N/(1-(z/alpha)^-N) where mag (alpha)<1 This is a notch filter. You need to work out N for your sampling freq and alpha = 0.9 say. This will also notch out dc too. M. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com

You may want to plot the response of this. It gives high-frequency
emphasis that you may not want, and you may not like how it shapes the
spectrum in general.

Yes, this is correct.  You may have to watch where you put the zeros of
the digital filter, basically you want a zero at z0=3De^+/-j(0.24*pi)
where 0.24 comes from 60/250 because 250Hz is your Fs/2.  This gives an
FIR filter at 60Hz given by

h =3D z^2 + z 2*Real(-z0) + 1

or an FIR filter with coefficients b0 =3D 1, b1 =3D 2*Real(-z0), b2 =3D 1

hope that helps.

Hi everybody i'm newbie in DSP, 

I'm writing an application in Java.
My application does the following: Trace an ECG diagram, diagram is
represented by an array of 2000 values, the signal duration is 4 secs,
it's mean 500 points/second, so my frequency is 500Hz.

Now my application must remove 60 Hz noise from diagram using notch
filter.

I dodn't know how to process exactely, but if i understood:

W0 = 2*pi*f0/fs 
where  f0 = 60Hz and fs = 500Hz

So if the sampling frequency is 500 Hz, the zero at +43,2&#4294967295; will completely
eliminate any signal at 60 Hz, is it correct?

I got +43,2&#4294967295; from this 2*pi*f0/fs  where pi is in degres(180)
