Design of analogue and digital phase-complementary filters

B.D.V. Smith, Robert Linggard · IEE Proceedings G (Electronic Circuits and Systems) · 1981

The measurement of instantaneous spectral energy by the traditional bandpass, rectify and smooth method leaves much to be desired when the signal has a high transient content. The paper presents analytic methods for the designing of ‘phase complementary’ filters based on the tke−at general time window, in both the continuous and discrete time domains. These filters can provide a well-defined measure of instantaneous spectral energy. Digital variants are shown to be capable of computationally efficient practical implementations.
