During the flight exploration of the time-domain airborne electromagnetic system, signals are influenced by the artificial noise from high-voltage transmission lines. Consequently, the responses acquired contain power frequency interference information and thus fail to truly reflect the distribution of subsurface media. Hence, this study conducted research on the removal of power frequency interference. This study proposed a comb filter that can directly process data in the time domain, shortening the time of time-frequency and frequency-time transform, avoiding the cumbersome transform steps, and reducing the risk of possible transform errors. The key to utilizing the comb filter is to suppress the power frequency signal and its kth harmonic by means of an ideal stopband for the suppression of power frequency interference. This study developed IIR and FIR comb filters and compared their removal effects on power frequency interference with that of a single notch filter. This study aims to offer a power frequency interference removal method for the processing of time-domain airborne electromagnetic data.
