f2erb
Calculates the equivalent rectangular bandwidth of an auditory filter

Usage:

erb = f2erb(f);
erb = f2erb(f, ERB_f, ERB_Q);

Input parameters:

f Center frequency of the auditory filter (in Hz)
ERB_f Optional Greenwood map's break frequency (in Hz).
ERB_Q Optional Glasberg and Moore's high-cf ratio

Description:

erb = f2erb(f); calculates the equivalent rectangular bandwidth (ERB) (in Hz) according to Eq. 4 Glasberg and Moore (1990) or Moore et al. (1997):

\begin{equation*} erb = 24.7 \cdot (1 + 4.37 \cdot \frac{f}{1000}); \end{equation*}

This bandwidth is also usually referred to as 1 Cam, see e.g., Moore et al. (2016).

erb = f2erb(f, ERB_f, ERB_Q); calculates the ERB (in Hz) as used by Lyon (2011) to design the filters in lyon2011_design.
