Title:
ADAPTABLE SPATIAL NOTCH FILTER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004029634
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A spatial notch filter is described that adapts in accordance with changes to an angular velocity of a rotating component within a manufacturing system. In a manufacturing system, noise may appear in feedback signals due to spatially distributed physical features in the system, such as imperfections in the components or sensors. This noise may be concentrated in a frequency band that changes as the angular velocity of rotating system components changes. The invention provides techniques for filtering this noise with one or more notch filters, and for adapting the center frequency of the notch filter as a function of angular velocity. The center frequency of the notch filter tracks the noise when the noise frequency changes.
