Hi all,
I was given a matlab project to use a unit circle with 2poles and
2zeroes to create a notch filter. The component to be removed is 50 Hz,
sampling frequency is 200 Hz.
I tried putting 2 zeroes at z=1, angle= pie/2;
and 2 poles at z=0.9, angle = pie/2. However, when i look at the spectra
using SPTOOL MATLAB, nothing seems to be removed from the spectra. I tried
playing with the values at gain, but it seems the frequency components at
20 Hz and above is removed.
Any advice on how to create a notch filter using poles and zeroes to
remove 50 Hz components from signal. (MATLAB SPTOOL). Can't figure it
out....

Any advice on how to create a notch filter using poles and zeroes to remove 50 Hz components from signal. (MATLAB SPTOOL). Can't figure it out.... In order to learn how they work, I suggest starting with only the zeroes.... maybe only one zero... then add the other zero.. by the way are they two independent zeros or a complex zero pair? Then add the poles and same question for them. Mark

You'll have a real-valued-coefficients filter with notches at +50 Hz and -50 Hz. If you want to make those two notches very narrow, then put one pole at z = 0 + jM (|z|=M at angle pie/2), and put the other pole at z = 0 - jM (|z|=M at angle -pie/2). Then experiment by letting M be in the range of, say, 0.6 -to- 0.99 to see how M affects the width of the notches. [-Rick-]

Check the post from Rune here, it's a very good one: <http://groups.google.com/group/comp.soft-sys.matlab/browse_frm/thread/bad839e1a15920bb/5248378bbcea10f8?q=notch&rnum=2#5248378bbcea10f8>

So you need complex zeros at 1/4 sampling freq which is pi/2 and -pi/2 (since 2pi is fs). So we have zeros ta z=0+j1 and z=-0-j1. The filter is therefore (z-j1)(z+j1)=z^2+1. M.P

After all we should really design Butterworth filters etc but this is just an exercise on the unit circle. M.P
