function analyzer = gfb_analyzer_new(fs,flow,basef,fhigh,filters_per_ERBaud,gamma_order,bandwidth_factor)
%GFB_ANALYZER_NEW Construct new analyzer object
% Usage: analyzer = gfb_analyzer_new(fs,flow, basef, fhigh,filters_per_ERBaud,gamma_order,bandwidth_factor)
%
% 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.
%
% 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).
