getCenterFrequencies

Center frequencies of filters

Syntax

cf = getCenterFrequencies(obj)

Description

cf = getCenterFrequencies(obj) returns the center frequencies of the filters created by obj, in Hz.

Examples

Center Frequencies of gammatoneFilterBank

Create a gammatoneFilterBank and get the center frequencies of the filters in the filter bank.

gammaFiltBank = gammatoneFilterBank;

cf = getCenterFrequencies(gammaFiltBank)

Center Frequencies of octaveFilterBank

Create an octaveFilterBank and get the center frequencies of the filters in the filter bank.

octFiltBank = octaveFilterBank;

cf = getCenterFrequencies(octFiltBank)

Get Center Frequencies of Octave Filter Bank Used in splMeter

Create an octave bandwidth splMeter and get the center frequencies of the octave filter bank. Round the center frequencies to two significant digits for display purposes.

SPL = splMeter('SampleRate',44100,'Bandwidth','1 octave');
cf = getCenterFrequencies(SPL);
round(cf,2,'significant')
