Default What exactly is a comb filter?

I was looking at a receiver catalog, and some of the receivers were
advertised as containing a "DSP comb filter" which could be turned on
when needed.

Can anyone tell me what a comb filter does and when it would be used?


It's supposed to clean up the signal. Basically, the frequency response has
many peaks and valleys that together resemble a hair comb.
