Frequencies between approximately 0 hz and 20 hz are accentuated by the low pass amplifier 28.
Accordingly, this frequency is emphasized in the repetitive noise-like signal generated at the output of band pass amplifier 22.
The sensory effect produced by the noise-like audible signal and the low frequency light pulsations may be further enhanced by driving a pair of light emitting diodes 72 and 74 by the complementary outputs Q and Q of the Schmitt trigger circuit.

  Bandwidth article - Bandwidth hertz real baseband electronic filter center frequency signal - What-Means.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The fact that real baseband systems have both negative and positive frequencies can lead to confusion about bandwidth, since they are sometimes referred to only by the positive half, and one will occasionally see expressions such as B = 2W, where B is the total bandwidth, and W is the positive bandwidth.
The bandwidth of an electronic filter is the part of the filter's frequency response that lies within 3 dB compared to the center frequency of its peak.
Bandwidth is normally based on the frequencies used and the spectral spread of the information carried on the frequency.

Digitally resetting the center frequency preserves the narrowband nature of the VCO and still maintains a wide operating margin.
Thus, for N=0, the center frequency is 231.7 MHz, and the VCO's tuning range is ±6.2 MHz.
For N=127, the center frequency is 113.8 MHz, and the VCO's tuning range is ±1.5 MHz.

 Changing Your Radio Channel
Center tuned refers to the receiver being tuned and peaked out to the center frequency of the low or high band.
When I say the receiver is peaked out for the center frequency of the low or high band, this means at those frequencies the oscillators have been tuned by adjusting coils, and in some cases capacitance, to oscillate at those frequencies.
By changing the crystals the oscillators are forced to change their frequency also, but the farther we get from center frequency, the more difficult it is for the oscillators to sustain oscillations, and their output will tend drop off.

 Glossary: Center Frequency | Sweetwater.com
As it pertains to equalizers the center frequency is the exact frequency to which the EQ filter is tuned.
When you boost or cut an EQ frequency you are always changing the gain more than just that one frequency as determined by the Q of the filter circuit (or digital program).
The center frequency is where the most change takes place (boost or cut), and the filter has progressively less effect on frequencies that are further and further away from the center frequency.

 Frequency Response
Sweeping function generators vary (or "sweep") their frequency linearly or exponentially (to give a log plot), and the output amplitude of the swept sine-waves traces the magnitude of the frequency response on an oscilloscope.
A slower way of obtaining frequency response is to use a fixed-frequency (non-sweeping) sine-wave generator and measure output amplitudes at several frequencies with constant input amplitude.
An elegant aspect of the use of complex frequency is that the transient response results from the real component and the frequency response from the imaginary component.

Center Frequency The center frequency, which is sometimes called the resonant frequency, is given by  EMBED Equation .
The lower cutoff frequency is the lower frequency at which the gain is 3dB less than the gain at the center frequency.
The frequency response of the low pass filter is not as straightforward as that of the bandpass filter, however.

It be should evident, that the resultant amplitude increases as the imposed frequency approaches the natural frequency and decreases as it moves away from the natural frequency.
There are some band-pass filters, for which the bandwidth and the center frequency can be independent of each other.

 Operational Transconductance Amplifiers (OTA) for Synthesis of Voltage-Controlled Active-Filter Tuned Oscillators
The maintenance of constant bandwidth while the center frequency is changed ensures that the oscillator's output waveform has the desired purity.
Keeping a constant bandwidth as center frequency is a djusted is important for the overall quality of the sinusoidal waveform generated in the active-filter-tuned oscillator.
Basically, as the center frequency of the bandpass filter varies over a wide range, it is desirable to keep the bandwidth nearly co nstant.

 ipedia.com: Resonance Article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
In an electrical circuit, resonance occurs at a particular frequency when the inductive reactance and the capacitive reactance are of equal magnitude, causing electrical energy to oscillate between the magnetic field of the inductor and the electric field of the capacitor.
Resonance is an important consideration for instrument builders as most acoustic instruments utilize resonators, such as the strings and body of a violin, the length of tube in a flute, and the shape of a drum membrane.
Those frequencies that are not one of the resonances are quickly filtered out - they are attenuated - and all that is left is the harmonic vibrations that we hear as a musical note.

The function generator was connected to Vs, and the oscilloscope was set up to measure the output of the voltage divider that divided the signal on channel one, and the output of the VCO on channel 2.
Starting with the PLL unlocked, at a frequency higher than the center frequency, we lower the input frequency towards the center frequency until the PLL becomes locked.
Therefore, when the frequency is an even multiple of the center frequency, the coefficient is 0, and there is no frequency to lock on to.

 4aPP11 Glide difference limens as a function of center frequency,   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Signal durations were 50, 100, and 400 ms, and the average stimulus center frequencies were 2 and 6 kHz.
The subject's task was to distinguish between the standard and a target signal with a greater or lesser change in frequency, depending on the experimental condition, in a 2-alternative, forced-choice task.
To avoid the confounding effect of between-stimuli static pitch cues, the center frequencies of the standard and target stimuli were ``roved'' about the center frequencies [Neill and Feth, J. Acoust.

 EAST COAST MODEL CENTER - Tech Talk Radio Interference
Note that the center frequency of the receiver can be slightly different than the center frequency of the transmitter and things will still seem to work ok, but since power decreases as you move out from the center frequency, range will be reduced.
The width of this band of frequencies around the center frequency is a major factor in determining the effects of radio interference.
Conversely, if somebody is operating on a frequency that is quite far away from the center frequency of your receiver, they can still interfere if their signal is strong enough.

 audio-rate frequency modulation
The rate of the vibrato is determined by the modulator's frequency, the depth of the vibrato (or how far above and below its center frequency the carrier will be pushed) is determined by the modulator's amplitude and the shape of the vibrato is determined by the modulator's waveform.
The carrier frequency is not necessarily the fundamental frequency.
The greater the amplitudes of the modulating wave are at its peaks, the greater the maximum distance the carrier is pushed off its center frequency.

 Tuner Information Center - Vintage Stereo Tuners
The typical problem occurs when two or more strong local stations on different frequencies, as a result of non-linear effects in the tuner, combine to create a distorted signal at another frequency that is stronger than the station that should be there.
Usually the strong signals are farther apart in frequency, or farther away from the one you are trying to listen to, and then the gangs will do their job and attenuate strong offending stations.

 Electrical Acoustics/Vibration engineering - vibration/octave band center frequency
An octave is a doubling of frequency; that's a relative measurement, so if there isn't a fixed frequency indicated anywhere on your graph, you won't get any fixed frequency information.
If detailed FFT type frequency information is not needed, 1/12th octave bands are a good way to go.
Since the information is vibration velocity, I am assuming the data was generated using an accelerometer, and if it wasn't a charge amp type accelerometer, the usable frequency range will be limited, depending on the size of the accelerometer.
