function outsig = sig_notchednoise(fc,fs,dur,L,bw,delta)
%sig_notchednoise Generates a notched-noise-type masker
% Usage: outsig = sig_notchednoise(fs,fc,dur,L,bw,delta);
% outsig = sig_notchednoise(fs,fc,dur,L,bw,[deltaL deltaR]);
%
% outsig = SIG_NOTCHEDNOISE(fs,fc,dur,L,bw,delta) generates a notched-noise
% masker with duration dur (in sec) and overall level L (in dB SPL)
% with a sampling rate of fs Hz. The deviation from center frequency
% fc is symmetric and is given by delta such that the stopband is
% [fc-delta*fc fc+delta*fc]. The left and right noise bands have a
% bandwidth of bw*fc in Hz. If delta=0 then a broadband noise is
% returned.
%
% outsig = SIG_NOTCHEDNOISE(fs,fc,dur,L,bw,[deltaL deltaR]) generates a
% notched-noise masker with an asymmetric configuration. deltaL and
% deltaR denote the left and right deviations from fc, respectively.
% In this case the stopband is [fc-deltaL*fc fc+deltaR*fc].
%
% This notched-noise-type masker was used in psychoacoustical studies
% investigating the auditory filters' shape (the original method is
% described in Patterson, 1974). The noise is composed of two noise bands
% of width bw and a stopband centered at fc with a deviation from fc
% given by delta.
%
% Examples:
% ---------
%
% The following shows the spectrum and a spectogram of a typical notched
% noise masker used in the Patterson study:
%
% fc = 4000;
% fs = 16000;
% dur = 1;
% L = 100;
% bw = .5;
% delta = .2;
% outsig = sig_notchednoise(fc,fs,dur,L,bw,delta);

% plotfftreal(fftreal(outsig),fs,100);
