Helical Resonator Notch Filter -  (electronic circuit added 7/03)
High Q Notch Filter -  National Semiconductor Application Notes first published28-Jun-1996 (app note added 4/02)
High-Q 60-Hertz Notch Filter -  This high-Q notch filter is based on the "Twin-T" design. It produces a very deep notch in the response curve at about 59.7 Hz.  This is useful to remove 60-Hz hum and noise from audio recordings or live performances. Response is down over -60db at the center point. The LM3900 Norton opamp was chosen since it doesn't require extra.... (Circuit design added 7/06)
LB-5: High Q Notch Filter -  National Semiconductor Application Note  (app note added 2/06)
Notch filter autotunes for audio applications 24-Jun-10 Issue of EDN  Tracking notch filters find use in harmonic-distortion analyzers; they also can remove heterodyne noise from ham-radio systems. A conventional tracking switched-capacitor notch filter relies on a bandpass filter, a voltage-to-frequency converter, and a notch filter to track the incoming signal and remove undesired tones. The bandpass filter in these circuits sometimes adjusts to the wrong frequency, meaning that the undesired tone would have no attenuation.... [Design Idea by John R Ambrose, Mixed Signal Integration, San Jose, CA]

Notch Filter is DC Accurate -  03/02/95 EDN-Design Ideas....Most active filters exhibit noise, distortion, gain error, and dc offset. However, a filter topology that separates the dc and ac paths can eliminate the last two of these unwanted behaviors (Fig 1a). The dc path in this circuit has no op amps and, therefore, no dc offset. The dc path does not have a dc gain error other than -6 dB of attenuation that the R1/R2 divider causes. (This attenuation is absent if you omit the R2 termination.) The ac path consists of C1 and a synthetic inductor comprising two wideband transconductance amplifiers and associated components. The result is an active circuit that emulates the passive filter of Fig 1b....[Design Idea by Gary Sellani, Maxim Integrated Products, Sunnyvale, CA]
Notch Filter is Insensitive to Component Tolerances -  03/02/00 EDN-Design Ideas  Many approaches for creating notch filters, which reject a narrow band of frequencies and pass all others, are unsatisfactory because they allow the component tolerances to interact. The circuit in Figure 1a overcomes this limitation and enables easy calculation of the component values for a desired notch frequency....[Design Idea added 2/06]    EDN migrating links.

Notch Filter uses Only Lowpass Filters -  04/10/97 EDN-Design Ideas  [Design Idea added 6/06] EDN migrating links. This link is not verified.  Search the "title" + "EDN" for new link.
Notebook Power Supply has Two Outputs -  03/03/94 EDN-Design Ideas  The notebook-computer supply in Fig 1 powers the 5V logic and derives an adjustable -24V supply for an LCD's backplane. The design uses only a high-efficiency buck regulator (Si9150]and an NMOS/PMOS, dual-power-FET chip set (Si9943].... [Design Idea by Steven C Hageman, Calex Manufacturing Co Inc, Concord, CA]
Parametric & Graphic Eq's Plus Peaks & Notches -  (circuit / schematic design added 6/06)
RC Notch Filter Twin T -  The twin T notch filter can be used block an unwanted frequency or if placed around an op-amp as a bandpass filter. The notch frequency occurs where the capacitive reactance equals the resistance Xc=R and if the values are close, the attenuation can be very high and the notch frequency virtually eliminated. (added 4/02)
Reverse RIAA Adaptor -  If you’re short of inputs on your amplifier, but it has an input for a magnetic pickup with RIAA correction, this very simple project will let you convert this into a high-level linear input, making it compatible with the outputs from all current audio sources.….must register on this site... [Published in Elecktor July/August 2010]
Reverse RIAA Equaliser -  Test phono preamps for correct equalisation, or convert unused phono inputs.  (circuit added 6/07)

Switched capacitor IC forms notch filter -  09/30/99 EDN-Design Ideas  You can use a switched-capacitor lowpass filter (LPF]to implement an inexpensive notch filter (Figure 1a]. The internal architecture of the IC (Figure 1b]includes summing nodes similar to those nodes that analog-signal-processing stages use for feedback-error generation. The IC lowpass-filters the quantity VIN2VCOM and adds VOS at the output. In other words,....[Design Idea added 10/06]   EDN migrating links.
