 Nikon MicroscopyU: Fluorescence Microscopy - Excitation Balancers - Interactive Java Tutorial
Adjacent to this window is a spectral plot entitled Excitation Passband Spectral Profiles, which displays the absorption spectra for the fluorophores utilized to stain the specimen along with the approximate transmission percentage (white line) of the excitation balancer filter combination at the illumination aperture (see the excitation balancer drawing) in the visible spectral region.
The fluorescent probes and their targets are identified for each specimen in the lower left-hand portion of the tutorial window next to a colored bar that coincides with the color of the excitation spectral profile in the excitation passband graph.
As the slider is translated to the far left, the aperture moves into the shortpass region of the balancer and the excitation passband changes to resemble the profile of a shortpass filter.

  SIMPLIFIED HIGH FREQUENCY TUNER AND TUNING METHOD
The near-baseband passband is also sufficiently high to allow a fairly relaxed transition from a cutoff at or near DC to the lower edge of the passband.
Because of the positioning and size of the near-baseband passband and associated digital tuning, whether continuous fine-tuning or stepwise tuning, alternate selection of the upper and lower high frequency spectra of interest can be used to provide non-redundant coverage of the broadband frequency spectrum from which the desired signal is to be received.
Due to the preferred spacing from DC of the near-baseband passband of the present invention as illustrated for example in Figure 2, the near-baseband passband is sufficiently separated from DC for an efficient and accurate Hilbert transform to be performed.

 Variable-passband variable-phase digital filter - Patent 4709343
Concurrently with the passband variation, digital filters corresponding to the mode of utilization just mentioned sometimes have structures which also permit interpolation of m intermediate values between two successive samples of the signal, with the result that m.times.n sets of weighting coefficients are usually applied to these filters.
In the structures described earlier, the variation in passband of the filters is usually obtained by varying the value of the coefficients K.sub.1, K.sub.2, K.sub.3 and K.sub.4 applied to the inputs of the filter.

 [No title]
The RF passband is a slowly varying function of frequency, and includes the relative phase between the antennas.
Since the passband residuals depend on the correlator configuration, the astronomical passband should be made using the same correlator configuration as the source observations.
If sinosoidal real, or imaginary passband residuals are evident in a spectral window, then polynomial fits to the amplitude and phase may give smaller residuals, but a steep phase slope within a spectral window may be an intermittent correlator problem, and not be present in the source data to be corrected.

 Constricted Passband Equiripple by Buhertz Technologies
For example, if the quality of a low pass passband is not an issue for the lower 50%, the equiripple may be constricted to the upper 50%.
It is easily seen that for both filters, the constriction of the equiripple in the passband produces increased attenuation in the stop band, and possible may lead to a smaller required order of filter.
Note that the Elliptic passband ripple is already pushed closer to the band edge and therefore requires a smaller percentage of constriction.

 SSB Filter Group Delay
This is a plot of the previous filter's passband insertion loss in dB and group delay, also tested by Harold, and plotted by a VNA group delay test program.
This plot, at 2 dB per vertical division and 0.5 kHz per horizontal divison, shows that the passband ripple is under 1 dB and the 6 dB bandwidth is 2.9 kHz.
The sharp increases in group delay at the ends of the passband, about 2.7 milliseconds in this case, are characteristic of filters that have been optimized for skirt selectivity.

 Comparison of DayStar and Coronado H-a Solar Filters with Spectrohelioscopes - Review
In general, for any of these instruments, the H-alpha passband must be better than 0.8A for acceptable performance, assuming the telescope to which it is attached is performing optimally.
And it is not necessary to have 0.2A or 0.1A passband — even if you had such a very narrow passband, the solar detail would not gain in contrast, because atmospheric ‘seeing’ would introduce fuzziness into the image.
Also note that a 0.7A passband filter passes more light than a 0.5A or a 0.2A passband, so the solar disk will be slightly darker visually (but, then, there is a lot of light to begun with, and the eye will automatically compensate.

The first example illustrates how to observe a passband source followed by a single source and a calibrator.
Finally, the calibration step is extended to using a wide, narrow, and wide passband observation on the calibrator source.
Hence, if the passband combination has not been observed already, then the loop command should terminate early enough (before the project stop time) so that enough time will remain to observe the passband at the end of the project.

 Low-Pass Filtering Tutorial and Glossary of Terms
If passband frequencies near the cutoff are included, the ripple can be significantly greater.
However, in practice, a filter designed for phase linearity can have passband phase linearity as low as a fraction of a degree, while other filters can have non-linearities so great that the group delay changes by a factor as high as 2 or 3 over the passband.
Unlike for resistor noise, changing the filter passband does not greatly change the total wideband RMS value for switched-capacitor filter noise.

The differences between these approaches are even more dramatic when the passband ripple and stopband ripple specifications are different, since truncated-and-windowed impulse response methods always give a result with approximately the same passband and stopband peak ripple.
A drawback in the IFIR design is that the passband ripples of the two filters are combined in a disorderly fashion.
By precompensating for a severe "droop" in the image suppressor filter, a flat passband can be achieved with dramatic savings in the number of multipliers required for the image suppressor filter.

The reson for supplying a separate front end to handle passbands is that some of the task parameters to calcspec, such as 'form' are not relevant to calcband.
The interpreter supports several functions which return passbands: band(), which returns a passband corresponding to an hst observing mode, box(), which returns a box passband, gauss() and lgauss(), which return gaussian and log gaussian passbands, and poly() and tilt(), which return Legendre polynomial passbands.
The combination of the arguments should uniquely specify an observing mode.to this box(num1, num2) num1: passband center num2: passband width A passband that is one inside the specified region and zero outside.
