... (DTFT).3.1
In practical situations we can only deal with finite-duration signals, so really we always use the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) [264]. Moreover, the DFT is typically implemented using the split-radix Cooley-Tukey Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), which requires the DFT length to be a power of 2. Thus, in practice, we use an FFT, while for theoretical studies, the DTFT is preferred.

If the sampling density is not sufficiently high, there will be aliasing (wrap-around) in the time domain. DTFT sampling in the frequency domain is an exact Fourier dual of ordinary sampling in the time domain.

Nevertheless, as discussed in [266], a perceptually exact band-limited interpolation can be implemented at a reasonable cost in the time domain, provided some amount of oversampling is used. Oversampling in the time domain provides a guard band in the frequency domain, which enables the interpolation kernel to meet perceptually ideal specifications at a much smaller length [270].

From a linear algebra point of view, consider the sinc kernel as corresponding to a Toeplitz Hermitian matrix. It is well known that Hermitian matrices have real eigenvalues and orthogonal eigenvectors. Also, multiplication by a Toeplitz matrix corresponds to convolution (in this case, a non-causal convolution.)

The not-so-smooth function also transforms to itself [150, p. 47]. Also, a periodic impulse train transforms to an impulse train with reciprocal spacing of the impulses (see §B.14). Finally, as discussed at http://www.dsprelated.com/showarticle/45.php, if is real and even, then is its own transform under the normalized Fourier transform. (The normalized Fourier transform is the usual Fourier transform divided by , which results in the inverse transform having the same scale factor.) That is, . We used the fact that if is real and even, then so is . (This is shown for the DTFT case in §2.3.3, and the proof is analogous in the continuous-time case.) Note that for to be smooth (differentiable of all orders), it cannot be bandlimited in either time or frequency.

... CPUs5.1
In recent years, Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) have been used increasingly for high-performance general-purpose digital signal processing [242]. For example, the NVIDIA CUDA development environment allows harnessing of many parallel threads of execution in a GPU (typically on a graphics card or chip-set in a personal computer) from a C program using GPU-related library extensions. Due to the massive parallelism available in a GPU, FFT convolution becomes competitive with time-domain convolution only at much longer lengths (in the thousands) [242]. In a CPU (one processor), FFT methods typically win out for convolution lengths greater than 100 or so (see §8.1.4 for some details).

It is a common matlab convention to specify normalized frequencies between 0 and 1 such that 1 corresponds to half the sampling rate, instead of the sampling rate. Thus, one-fourth the sampling rate ( ) is specified as in matlab. In this book, outside of Matlab function arguments, normalized frequency is always the sampling rate.

As a result of the implicit equal weighting, the stop-band ripple at dB means that the pass-band ripple is below 0.007 dB, which is overkill for typical audio applications. This pass-band ripple can be enlarged in exchange for improved stop-band ripple or a narrower transition band or both. This is done by specifying a larger weighting on the stop-band ripple--see the help page for firpm for details.

However, consider an FM signal in which a sinusoid is sweeping back and forth in the pass-band. In that case, the pass-band-ripple generates AM sidebands, so a spec more like that in the stop-band may be called for. Here, we allow the pass-band ripple to be 10 times the stop-band ripple, which is a reasonable compromise.

... exactly.6.8
One situation in which minimum orthogonal spacing works well is when the signal is known to be exactly periodic, and the period is accurately measured using a fundamental-frequency estimator (§10.1). In this case, we can resample the periodic signal to obtain an exact integer number of samples per period, and a rectangular window can be set to exactly one period in length. In this situation, each DFT coefficient is proportional to a Fourier series coefficient (defined in Chapter 2), and the peak frequencies are known to be integer multiples of the fundamental frequency, so no peak interpolation is needed at all. In other words, the fundamental frequency estimator takes care of locating all the peaks in frequency: Resampling to an integer period in the time domain corresponds to resampling the spectrum at each main-lobe peak in the frequency domain.

The Gaussian distribution is also called the normal distribution, or bell curve.'' By the central limit theorem'' (§D.9.1), any sum of independent random variables becomes Gaussian in the limit. Therefore, filtered noise is usually well modeled as Gaussian, since the filtering typically adds many random variables together. See Appendix D for more about the Gaussian distribution.

The division by can be interpreted as normalizing the peak of the implicit Bartlett window on the autocorrelation function to 1, as discussed further below. Alternatively, it may be interpreted as a normalization of the Fourier transform itself, converting a power spectrum (squared-magnitude FFT) to a power spectral density. Such normalization is necessary for stationary random processes since they generally have infinite signal energy (but finite average power); i.e., grows without bound as increases.

Physical phenomena exhibiting a power spectral density law include noise in vacuum tubes, carbon resistors, transistor junctions, metal films, ionic solutions, films at the superconducting transition, Josephson junctions, nerve membranes, cosmic background radiation distribution, sunspot activity, and the flood levels of the river Nile [294]. In addition, the sub-audio short-time power fluctuations in music (i.e., below the audible frequencies starting at 20 Hz) have been shown to follow the characteristic, especially classical music [294].

Perfect reconstruction is also possible in principle using as large as with the Hamming window. However, this requires dividing out the amplitude modulation given by the sum of Hamming windows displaced by (see Eq. (7.2)). In practice, (50% overlap) is the largest hop size used with the Hamming window because it is the largest value that preserves the constant-overlap-add (COLA) property. We will learn in Chapter 9 that (75% overlap) is significantly more robust than 50% overlap, and is recommended when spectral modifications are to be carried out on the STFT data.

Note that the FFTs are effectively downsampled by this operation, with the highest frequency-domain sampling rate'' occurring at the lowest frequency of the band. Therefore, the FFT length can be set by matching the adjacent auditory filter spacing to the low-frequency bin spacing of the FFT at the lower edge of the frequency range covered by that FFT). In fact, one very large FFT could be used in which the low-frequency bin spacing is approximately equal to the spacing of the center-frequencies of the auditory filter-bank channels at the low-frequency extreme.

The dc sampling filter described here is the Fourier dual of the time-domain sinc function corresponding to a single sample in time.

This is distinct from OLA modifications in which a spectrum is altered, inverse transformed, and overlap-added into an output buffer. Multiplicative OLA modifications are exact (no aliasing) when the zero-padding in the time domain is sufficient. FBS modifications are not provided zero-padding in the time domain, and for there is aliasing in the channel signals.

Higher-order interpolations of so-called envelope break-points were also developed at CCRMA in the late 1970s (e.g., using cubic splines), but for tonal sounds, linear interpolation is usually sufficient, and the higher-order envelopes did not see much use, presumably due to the greater complexity of dealing with them coupled with the lack of significant benefit.

When the FFT window is a length N rectangular window, then alias(Hk .* X, Nk) == BandK, as defined above, and there is no aliasing after all. More precisely, the aliased spectral samples all happen to be zeros of the window transform (which is an aliased sinc function, as defined in §3.1). These zeros depend on the window-length being N (no zero-padding), and on the window-type being rectangular (no window'').

... transients.12.3
The Dolby AC-3 perceptual audio coding format, which is formulated more directly as a transform coder (quantized STFT), switches to a shorter FFT window when transients are detected in the signal being encoded. The original Dolby AC-2 format used length 512 FFT windows in a Princen-Bradley time-domain aliasing cancellation scheme (sampling rate typically 44.1 kHz). The shorter length for transients in AC-3 was chosen to be 256 samples, or half the steady-state length [149, §4.1.4]. A special hybrid window is needed for a smooth transition from steady-state to transient processing, or vice versa.

Technically, the Fourier transform of the unit step function does not exist, since is not integrable for any value of . However, its Laplace transform does exist in the right-half plane, and the limit as is well behaved and can be taken as the definition of the Fourier transform. The same construction works for , , and so on.

... process.C.2
The general class of stochastic processes for which time averages equal ensemble averages is called ergodic stochastic processes [201]. In this book, all stochastic processes are assumed ergodic (and hence stationary) because they can all be modeled as filtered white noise, where the filter is stable, linear, and (at least approximately over short durations) time-invariant. Furthermore, the driving noise can be chosen to be Gaussian; see more advanced texts on stochastic processes regarding distinctions that can arise in non-ergodic cases.

... length.C.3
Note that 20 ms contains only one period of a sinusoid at 50 Hz, which is above lower limit of pitch perception (the low note of the piano, A0, is tuned to 22 Hz). It is therefore possible to encounter difficulty resolving tones in the deep bass region of the audio spectrum. A 20 ms frame length works quite well, however, for telephone speech processing, in which the nominal bandwidth is 200-3200 Hz; in this case, a 20ms frame has at least four periods of the lowest frequency present, and harmonic resolution is assured under the Hamming window. In wideband audio work, a multiresolution analysis is often highly preferable.

Similarly, two random variables and are said to be independent if the probability that both and equals the probability that times the probability that , where and are any values that the respective random variables can assume. For purposes of this book, it is sufficient to have only an intuitive understanding of terms such as these from probability theory. Only sample correlations will be needed for noise spectrum analysis.

This was before Fourier theory (1822), and before differential equations as we now know them. Calculus using trigonometric functions was still a new topic at the time. D'Alembert derived his results from Newton's second law applied to a differential string element, integrating the result, and imposing rigid boundary constraints.

... Hz)G.5
According to the voder patent (US Patent 2,121,142), the ten bandpass edges were, in Hz, 0, 225, 450, 700, 1000, 1400, 2000, 2700, 3800, 5400, and 7500. The voder patent refers to a vocoder patent application, serial number 47,393, filed October 30, 1935, but it appears that the vocoder patent may have never issued. In any case, Figure 1 of the voder patent is described as similar'' to that of the vocoder, and having been used as the natural development from the analyzer-synthesizer circuit referred to in my previous application, Serial No. 47,393'' and the improved version (Figure 6 of the voder patent) specified the same ten bandlimits.

A model typically means parametric model. In contrast, a nonparametric representation, such as an FFT, is regarded as data or processed data--not a model. The number of data points (degrees of freedom'') in a nonparametric model is typically on the same order as that of the original data. True model parameters, on the other hand, will have far fewer degrees of freedom than the original data.

... 1977,G.12
This is a personal observation based on using the software written by James A. Moorer running on the PDP KL-10 soon after I arrived at CCRMA. (At that time, CCRMA'' was an unnamed computer-music project at the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Lab). From reading the code, it appeared to be an implementation along the lines of Portnoff's 1976 paper. As far as I know, prior additive-synthesis analysis was performed by the heterodyne-comb technique [185], which is related to Goetzel's algorithm for computing a single bin of the DFT recursively.
