Wide-band signal

Another assumption on the input signal is that it is a wide-band signal with the spectral properties of white noise. Let the spectrum of the input signal be Sin . The mean squared output signal $ \overline{{V_{{\rm s},i}^2}}$ of integrator i is then

$\displaystyle \overline{{V_{{\rm s},i}^2}}$ = Sin| fi|22 (18)
where

| fi|22$\displaystyle \defin$$\displaystyle {\frac{{1}}{{2\pi}}}$$\displaystyle \int_{{-\infty}}^{\infty}$Si(ω)| fi()|2. (19)
Si(ω) is an input weighting function that is by default identical to 1. If the maximally allowed signal level at the outputs of the integrators is Vmax , the maximum allowed value for Sin is

Smax, in = $\displaystyle {\frac{{
V_{\hbox{max}}^2
}}{{
\max_i \vert f_i\vert _2^2
}}}$. (20)
If H is the transfer function of the filter, the maximum output signal level of the filter is

$\displaystyle \overline{{V_{\hbox{max,out}}^2}}$ = Smax, in$\displaystyle {\frac{{1}}{{2\pi}}}$$\displaystyle \int_{{-\infty}}^{\infty}$| H()|2 = Smax, in| H|22. (21)

FA will use this assumption in determining maximal signal levels if the scale2 flag is set by

set: scale2
