Abstract
Abstract A highly frequency selective circuit that includes a twin-T notch filter connected in the feedback path of a transistor is disclosed. Also included in the feedback path is an isolation network formed of a pair of emitter coupled transistors. One of the isolation transistors is fed by the feedback signal from the twin-T notch filter and the other is fed by the input signal to the overall frequency selective circuit.
