Low noise 60 Hz notch filter circuit

Click For Summary
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.

Does anyone have a very low noise 60 Hz notch filter circuit that will not attenuate over 100
or a low noise bandpass from 100 to 20000 hz .

You want a sharp notch to supress 60Hz and not attenuate 100Hz?

A better approach might be to eliminate the 60Hz noise coupling first, so that it doesn't show up in your signal channel. And/Or, do something with your signal to move it away from 60Hz (modulation, etc.).

What is your application?
