Figure 10.8 shows the frequency domain result of the periodic method dis-
cussed in the previous section. In this figure only 2 kHz of frequency is shown.
One frequency range is from 0 to 1 kHz, labeled filter bank A with 100 Hz res-
olution, but not including the 1 kHz frequency bin. The other one is from 1 to
2 kHz, labeled filter bank B with 100 Hz resolution, but not including the 2 kHz
frequency bin. The frequency bins in both filters A and B are labeled from 0
to 9. There are a total of 20 frequency bins in Figure 10.8. In order to cover
± 5 kHz, 100 total frequency bins are required. In this figure the output signal
amplitude is affected by two filters: one filter has a bandwidth of 1 kHz and the
other one has a bandwidth of 100 Hz. The amplitude change between filters A
and B is shown in this figure.
In this discussion, both the wideband and narrow band filters are included, but
the discussion will be concentrated on the wideband filter. Usually the wideband
filter A is considered to only cover ± 500 Hz because the adjacent filters cover
frequencies beyond this range. In this discussion the frequency cover is extended
to ± 1,000 Hz. Since in the FFT output there are only positive frequency compo-
nents, A
are used to represent the positive and negative frequencies of
filter A . Similar representations B
+ and A
+ and B
are used for filter B .Thecircleson
