Abstract
An input signal is applied to a notch filter having a transfer function that is the inverse of the expected noise signal. The filtered signal is coupled to a first amplifier and the input signal is coupled to a second amplifier. The outputs of the amplifiers are summed. The gains of the amplifiers are oppositely adjusted in response to the magnitude of the input signal. At low amplitude, the filtered signal is amplified more than the unfiltered signal. At high amplitude, the unfiltered signal is amplified more than the filtered signal.
