SUMMARY
The discussion centers on designing a low noise 60 Hz notch filter circuit that minimizes attenuation above 100 Hz. A recommended solution is the Burr-Brown active notch filter, which includes separate low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass filters that can be combined using a summing amplifier. Participants suggest considering alternative methods to eliminate 60 Hz noise coupling before filtering, such as modulation techniques. The focus is on achieving a sharp notch filter without compromising higher frequency signals.
