Hello,

I have a signal (fs=50,000Hz) that has vibrations at various different frequencies. I need to get rid of vibrations at a specific frequency (86.2Hz), but I am unsure how to do this. I have tried using a bandstop frequency from the fdatool but have so far been unsuccesful. I am new to filters (especially in matlab), so if somebody could explain what the various inputes in the fdatool mean, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

I need to remove a specific frequency (86.2Hz) from the signal, but as I am new to using filters in Matlab, I am unsure how to do this. I have attempted to use the bandstop filter in the fdatool feature, but have not been succesful so far with this, mainly because I am unsure of the exact meaning of the various inputs in the tool.

Thanks, that does help a bit. I was wondering if you could answer me something else though. I have designed the filter in fdatool, and when I try to export it to the workspace, it exports two variables, an SOS matrix (SOS) and Scale values (G). After these are exported, how do I apply the filter to my signal? When I have used filters before, the variables have been vectors, rather than matrices

Alan, in your other post you indicated that you had successfully exported a filter object, but were confused by the second-order sections structure. Is this still the case, or are you having other difficulties with fdatool?
