A linear regulator in series with the bridge will have a power
loss -- especially at high-line, but if you can tolerate this,
you can use it to provide a heck of a lot more rejection at low
frequencies than an "equivalently-sized" capacitor. You can then
use a lot lower value capacitors on the output of the linear
regulator to achieve the same output impedance.In other words, use a linear regulator to give you lower output
impedance at low frequencies, and then have a relatively small
capacitor "take over" where the regulator's bandwidth starts rolling
off. The linear regulator will also increase noise rejection at
low frequencies from your input bridge.Matt
