Speech Title: Design Techniques of Special FIR Notch filters

Abstract:
1. Maximally flat linear phase FIR notch filter with controlled null width:
Design of maximally flat linear phase FIR notch filter (NF) with controlled null width is an innovative approach for eliminating the interference frequency which varies within certain fixed known range. Proposed FIR notch filter can be an alternative to data dependent filter and finds applications in many communication systems where interference frequency is found to vary within certain specified range.
2. Special bi-notch filters:
In this case, a methodology for designing FIR bi notch filters derived from second order prototype IIR notch filters will be discussed. The suggested bi notch filter can also be adapted to eliminate second, third and fourth order harmonics of periodic noise besides the fundamental noise frequency component. A special case when two notch frequencies ω1and ω2 are such that (cosω1.cos ω2) = -1/2 will also be discussed.
