- I need a VERY sharp notch filter (or actually 3, if sharp enough) to reject
- FM broadcast stations from an antenna signal. The requirements are tough:
- a. VERY sharp - I need to measure spectra of broadband noiselike signals and
- the present LC filters make a far too visible hole.
- b. No other holes (or even ripples) in the pass band - 57 to 180MHz.
- c. Low loss.
-
- LC type circuits are not sharp enough. Using a crystal is out as it is too
- lossy and has many other smaller holes. A carefully made cavity may be the
- answer, but while I can find many ways to use a cavity to reject one
- frequency and pass another (standard diplexers), I can't see how to use one
- to only reject a frequency, while passing all others. Any help?
