### What does correcting IQ do?

Some software (for example SDR Sharp) has a "Correct IQ" option. This is used to get rid of the DC spike in the middle of the display. What does this setting do to the signal? What is wrong with ...

### Filter design - Rules of thumb regarding ratio of sampling and stop/pass frequency

The issue: I have a signal in the time domain sampled at 51.2KHz. I want to apply a highpass filter with a pass frequency of 20 Hz. The problem: Using Matlab to do that, the design of the filter ...

### Why do we put poles close to the zeros in notch filter?

In the book I'm studying from "Applied digital signal processing - Manolakis" it says: The problem with FIR notch filters is that the bandwidth of the notches is large. A simple way to create ...

### Moving Average for Notch filtering

I have a periodic signal(ECG) with period of ~1 seconds. It does not have features that are shorter than 0.04 seconds. For removal of 60Hz, I thought instead of implementing a notch filter, doing a ...

### Remove square-wave pulse artifact

How can I remove a biphasic, square-wave-like artifacts from the signal, so I'll keep as much as possible information "under" the artifact? Below is the signal with artifacts: The artifacts are those ...

### What kind of filter I should use to remove the oscillations in this autocorrelation function?

I have an autocorrelation function which is shown as following, I do believe these trailing oscillating wigs are spurious and should be removed by some kind of filter. But I am not familiar with any ...

### How to choose notch frequencies for filtering line noise?

I'm using the function to filter out line noise at 60 Hz (and 120, 180 Hz) caused by electrical noise: ecogNotch In the case below I can effectively filter out the line noise with a notch filter at ...

### how to create a harmonic mask from fundamental frequency?

Using an algorithm that gives the fundamental frequency across time, example https://www.mathworks.com/help/audio/ref/pitch.html (or some other one?) how would I then use that, to create a harmonic ...
I am following the process that is described in this question: Transfer function of second order notch filter , I want to create a notch filter with the band suppressed equal to $f_c = 4000$ Hz, so ...
