I'd use that. If you can stand detecting harmonics of the tone, demodulate it with a 2kHz square wave. That'll catch 2kHz, 6kHz, 10kHz, etc., but multiplying by 1 or -1 and accumulating sure doesn't use up much circuitry! If you've got multipliers to spare, then demodulate it with a 2kHz sine wave (and cosine wave). That'll catch _just_ 2kHz, and give you lots of control over what you do with the result. (In fact, you could do this instead of a PLL or a notch filter). -- Tim Wescott Control system and signal processing consulting www.wescottdesign.com

You don't mention that, so I am suggesting it here. Maybe there is a reason to generate it, or maybe not... -- glen

I was presuming that it was not intentional, but due to some other problem in the digital part of the design. Instead of filtering it out from the analog signal, don't generate it in the first place. Or maybe a digital filter before the DAC could also remove it. All the discussion so far is on filtering the analog signal. -- glen

Hi, Ok here are some clarifications:>> Has the OP stated to what extent it is important to preserve the >> signal around 2 KHz or below it? >> Makes a difference in the solution.This is for a medical application. Basic signal flow is: DDS -> DAC -> Human body -> ADC -> Decimation -> Detect AND get rid of 2kHz.>> The 2kHz is exact fraction of 128kHz by exact binary ratio of 64. So >> generating and using it is not a very good idea anyway.It's actually close to 2kHz, not dead-on 2k. The main problem is that the notch filter, or any other solution, need to affect square pulses as little as possible. Hope this clarifies things a bit. Thanks!
