This paper proposes a new unified framework for the adaptive IIR band-pass/band-stop filtering for detection and enhancement/suppression of an unknown narrowband signal immersed in a broadband signal. In most of the conventional methods, which are well-known as the adaptive notch filtering, the adaptive band-pass/band-stop filter is restricted to a low-order transfer function. On the other hand, our proposed method can be applied to arbitrary high-order band-pass/band-stop transfer functions in a simple manner. We derive this simple adaptive mechanism with the help of the frequency transformation and its block diagram representation. In addition, we prove that this result includes the conventional all-pass-based adaptive notch filters as special cases. Moreover, we demonstrate a significant property that the use of high-order adaptive band-pass/band-stop filters yields much better signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) improvement than the conventional low-order filters.
