Is a notch filter for 50 Hz without delay possible?

I am processing an EEG signal (2 kHz sampling frequency) from hardware and the built-in filter doesn't work as intended. FIR gives a delay, and IIR is unstable. The signal of interest is from 4&...

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 ...

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 a pair of complex-conjugate zeros provide a nulling filter? (FIR filter case)

FIR filter having a pair of complex-conjugate zeros that lie on the unit circle, with zeros of the form: $$ z_1 = e^{j\omega_i}\qquad\text{and}\qquad z_2 = e^{-j\omega_i} $$ And transfer function: $$ ...

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 ...

Does FIR filter remove DC offset properly?

I was checking FIR and IIR filter for offset removal. But I found that FIR can not remove DC offset properly. I think there's something more to do with the filter coefficients of FIR to remove DC ...

Specify notch bandwidth by pole placement

I am trying to implement a notch filter by placing zeros and poles. I found in this thread how to specify the frequency to be filtered out (referred to as $\omega_n$ in previous link,) but it is not ...
