Notch filter Q value
Notch filter Q value defines the width of filtering frequency. The width of notch varies with the
setting of notch filter Q value. As notch filter Q value increases, the width of filtering frequency
becomes narrower.
Figure10.6.3.2 Notch filter Q value
Q value and the bandwidth of notch filter are relevant. The formula for calculating the
bandwidth is: Bandwidth (BW) = The frequency of notch filter (fc)/Q value
Table10.6.3.4
Example:
The frequency of notch filter is 400. The Q value is 0.5. Then the bandwidth (BW) is
approximately 200 Hz.
Q = 0.5
Q = 0.7Q = 1.0
