  Flanging - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This produces a swept 'comb filter' effect: peaks and notches are produced in the resultant frequency spectrum, related to each other in a linear harmonic series.
Extending the comb analogy, flanging uses a comb filter with regularly-spaced teeth (like a brand new hair comb), whereas phasing uses a comb filter with irregularly-spaced teeth (like a worn hair comb with teeth that have been bent or broken).
Thus, whilst the peaks and troughs of the comb filter are more-or-less in a linear harmonic series, there is a significant amount of non-linear behaviour too, causing the timbre of tape-flanging to sound more like a combination of what came to be known as flanging and phasing.

 TV and Video Comb Filters
The output of a comb filter is S-Video.
For a "standard comb filter" it is OK for the dot of the lowercase I to be duller and elongated slightly upwards on the comb filter set while it fits sharp and clear on one or two lines (but maybe wider sideways) on a 260 line resolution set.
Comb filters are sometimes sold separately, as "composite to S-video converters".

 Voice switching arrangement for telephone conferencing - Patent 4456792
This arrangement is achieved in a multiparty connection by using two complementary comb filter banks on a voice channel with the filter passbands of the first bank being stopbands in the second bank and vice versa.
In this patent, two banks of comb filters are utilized on a voice channel with the filter passbands of the first bank being stopbands in the second bank and vice versa.
When an interrupting speaker begins to talk, a first comb filter bank is assigned to the speech path of the first speaker and a second comb filter bank is assigned to the speech path of the interrupting speaker or the loudest of interrupting speakers.

 Response Effects of Guitar Pickup Position and Width
Comb filter responses are often associated with time delays (echoes, flange effects, chorus effects).
The comb filter is implemented by subtracting a delayed version of the signal from the incoming signal for that string.
The pickup position response is a comb filter curve and the pickup width response is a 6dB per octave low pass comb filter response.

A comb filter is a filter that has a series of very deep notches in its frequency response with the spacing of all of the notches at multiples of the frequency of the lowest notch (they are all harmonically related).

Today, digital processing is the norm for comb filters and the technical intrigue continues as we inch closer to the full digital television age.
Lowest in the food chain is the single line comb filter; next, the 2-line comb filter; and yes, the 3-line version; replaced by 2D adaptive methods; and, currently the sophisticated 3D motion-adaptive comb filter.
Perhaps the largest disadvantage to the 2-line comb filter is that vertical resolution suffers due to the constant weighted averaging of picture information.

 Comb filter system (US4184174)
In apparatus for playback of a video disc record bearing chrominance information recorded in "buried subcarrier" format, a comb filter involving subtractive combination of the input and output of a 1H delay line is used to separate chrominance component of recorded composite signal from accompanying luminance signal.

 Digital Video Essentials - Using Video Test Patterns in DVE # 12
In the mean time we used a notch filter decoder, where all of the luminance detail in the frequency space of the color information was lost to the color channel.
The Sharpness control was added to the notch filter decoder in these early days of color television to pull detail out of the edge of the luminance information, at the lower edge of the notch filter.
Once we were able to move to comb filters, where much of the luminance detail sharing frequency space with the chroma signals could be recovered, there was no longer a need for the sharpness control.

The poles of the all-pass filter are thus at the same location as the comb filter, but we now added some zeros at the conjugate reciprocal locations.
The attenuation gains of the comb filters were chosen according to (2.16) and the all-pass gains were both set to 0.7.
By combining a bank of all-pass filters with a bank of comb filters such that each comb filter processes a different frequency range, the reverberation time of each specific frequency band can be set by adjusting the corresponding comb filter’s feedback gain.

 Flat TV People : Comb Filters
Comb filters are designed to clean up any fuzziness or artifacts brought in by the composite signal.
Comb filters use various methods to clean up artifacts and therefore vary in effectiveness.
NOTE -- A TV’s comb filter is bypassed when S-Video or component video is used as the input signal, because S-Video and component video signals are comprised of separate Y and C elements already.

 Response Effects of Guitar Pickup Mixing
Perhaps the single comb filter response is the sonically important characteristic of the single pickup timbre while the chaotic appearance of the dual comb filter response is the sonically important characteristic of the two pickup timbre.
And perhaps the dual comb filter resonance is similar enough to the natural resonances of an acoustic instrument to suggest that quality.
This is a cosine comb filter, a little different from the sine comb filter that is characteristic of a single pickup response.

 Comb Filter
After the low-pass filter, the most common synthesiser filter is the 'high-pass' filter, so called because it passes frequencies above the cut-off frequency, and attenuates those lying below it.
Comb filters, which are a special case of multiple notch filters, are the rarest of all analogue synthesiser filters.

Since conventional (line type) comb filters have problems handling diagonal lines and vertical color changes, it seems the first order of business would be to tackle these tricky situations.
The term adaptive carries wide meaning in that comb filter manufacturers create unique methods that enable the filter to make better decisions as to the process algorithms to use.
In 3D comb filtering, picture information is taken and compared to information in successive frames (called inter-frame filtering) as opposed to 2D filters which process data taken from successive lines within a field or frame (intra-frame filtering).

The comb filter then takes its input, outputs it, and then puts it into a buffer so that any new input is added in delay time later, using a delay.
There is no averaging or other filtering of the string in this model, other than the resonance that it gets from "being a certain length" (just like in physical systems).
You can filter the feedback signal to simulate the frequency-dependent decay in real instruments, but the filtering introduces more delay time, which reduces and thus detunes the frequency.

Comb filters are not required and not used with S-Video (Y/C video) or component video connections since those connections carry the chrominance and luminance separately.
A comb filter (or some other filter such as a notch filter) is necessary for any composite video format including laserdisc and television programming.
Comb filters are superior to notch filters in separating out the color and brightness information, however, they do add some distortions to the final image not present when a component or Y/C video format is used.

 DotCrawl Comb filter   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Spatial filtering works on pixels within a single frame, and is applied to parts of the picture that have changed since the previous frame (ie: where there’s motion).  While it does not increase actual picture detail, it can reveal details that would otherwise be masked by the dot patterns.
The temporal comb filter settings control how the temporal kernel distinguishes between moving and non-moving images.  That’s not as trivial as it sounds because luma-chroma crosstalk (which is the defect the filter is designed to remove) causes pixel values to change between frames even when the underlying image has not changed.  The choices are:
I started with just a temporal comb filter.  An NTSC composite signal is the sum of the luma and chroma signals.  The luma is a fl-and-white representation of the picture, while the chroma signal is a quadrature-amplitude-modulation of a vector, which itself is the sum of two orthogonal vectors (the I and Q subchannels).  Hence:

For a parallel comb filter with equal magnitude, all comb units are decaying at the same rate.
As we saw in the previous section, a considerable number of comb filters are required to achieve a good time density in a parallel comb filter design, given a reasonable frequency density.
Thus, a series all-pass filter that has the same delay lengths and feedback gains as a parallel comb filter also has the same eigenmodes (resonant frequencies and decay rates) as the parallel comb filter.
