Sinc Filter Model
An analytical filter frequency response represented by the Sin(x)/x function.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Upper Bandwidth Limit | The filter’s upper limit on the power spectrum. The bandwidth limit is relative to the carrier frequency (the carrier being at zero Hz), and is specified as a positive value. The upper limit is considered to be a sharp cutoff point and the spectrum is zero beyond the limit. |
Lower Bandwidth Limit | The filter’s lower limit on the power spectrum. The bandwidth limit is relative to the carrier frequency and is specified as a negative value. The lower limit is considered to be a sharp cutoff point and the spectrum is zero beyond the limit. |
Bandwidth | A read-only field equal to the difference between Upper Bandwidth Limit and Lower Bandwidth Limit. It is the total spectral bandwidth over which the filter has a defined response. The filter will only compute over frequencies that are in its defined response; outside its defined response, complete attenuation occurs. |
Insertion Loss | A fixed signal attenuation with the spectrum loss computed by the filter’s response characteristics. | Cut-off Frequency | Specifies the -3dB (50 percent) filter attenuation response point. |
