GFB_ANALYZER_NEW - Construct new analyzer object

Usage

analyzer = gfb_analyzer_new(fs,flow, basef, fhigh,filters_per_ERBaud,gamma_order,bandwidth_factor)

System Message: WARNING/2 (<string>, line 13)

Literal block ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.

Input parameters

fs The sampling frequency of the signals on which the analyzer will operate
flow The lowest possible center frequency of a contained gammatone filter
basef "base frequency". One of the gammatone filters of the analyzer will have this center frequency. Must be >= flow
fhigh The highest possible center frequency of a contained gammatone filter. Must be >= basef
filters_per_ERBaud
 The density of gammatone filters on the ERB scale.
gamma_order The order of the gammatone filters in this filterbank. If unspecified, the default value from gfb_set_constants.m is used.
bandwidth_factor The bandwidth parameter of the individual filters is calculated from the Equivalent Rectangular Bandwidth (ERB) according to equation 14 in Hohmann (2002). ERB is taken from the Glasberg & Moore formula for a specific center frequency (equation 13 in Hohmann (2002)). Using this parameter, it is possible to widen or narrow all filters of the filterbank with a constant bandwidth factor. Default value is 1.0

Output parameters

analyzer The constructed gfb_analyzer object.

Description

gfb_analyzer_new constructs a new gfb_analyzer object. The analyzer implements the analysis part of a gammatone filterbank as described in Hohmann (2002).

It consists of several all-pole gammatone filters; each one with a bandwidth of 1 ERBaud (times bandwidth_factor), and an order of gamma_order.

The center frequencies of the individual filters are computed as described in section 3 of Hohmann (2002).
