Determine Critical Bandwidth<br />

Calculate the critical bandwidth<br />

Critical<br />

Bandwidth<br />

For this possible tone at 249 Hz (f c = 249), the critical<br />

bandwidth is 104.43 Hz<br />

Center critical bandwidth around the peak. For this<br />

example 196.8 to 301.2 Hz.<br />

This will not symmetrically fit due to the resolution. How<br />

to specifically deal with this is not covered in the<br />

standard.<br />

For our purposes, the critical bandwidth is 102 Hz<br />

covering the lines from 198 to 300 Hz<br />
