    An efficient MW band-stop filter can reject unwanted AM radio frequencies between 457-1792 kHz from an HF receiver. The elliptic filter circuit provides high attenuation in the MW band while having a negligible effect on the 160m ham radio band. The design uses common inductors and capacitors to create a filter with a 65dB minimum attenuation between the cutoff frequencies. Winding inductors on T68-2 toroids rather than axial chokes can improve attenuation by around 10dB due to higher Q factors.

    Frequency response. Cutoff frequencies are at 457 and 1792 kHz,
    minimum attenuation is 65 dB. Input and output impedance is 50 ohms.

    The component values were chosen from the standard values widely available. This
    variant was built with SMCC axial chokes as inductors, however the Q factor is not
    very high (4.7 uH has Q of 70 on 8 MHz, 10 uH has Q of 80 on the same frequency
    and the 33 uH SMCC coil has a Q as low as 55 on 2.5 MHz). If T68-2 (red) toroids
    used, you can get a Q of 200 and the attenuation is better of some 10 dB.
