Abstract

A complementary comb filter includes a plurality of band pass filters and a plurality of notch filters, wherein the notch filters have the same center frequencies as the band pass filters or the same center frequencies as the dead bands defined by the band pass filters. Phase distortion by the notch filters occurs primarily in the notch, thereby eliminating distortion of the signal.
