Dear all, I'm using an iirnotch or iircomb filter to remove 60Hz from my recorded signal. Following matlab help it is easy to implement the code
fs = 20000; fo = 60; q = 35; bw = (fo/(fs/2))/q;[b,a] = iircomb(fs/fo,bw,'notch'); % Note type flag 'notch'
fvtool(b,a);
But I really do not understand what the quality factor q is for. Matlab usually recommend a setting with 35. But what exactly do I set there? I'm really looking forward to a bit of information… Thanks a lot! Peter
