TSP (libtsp/SP) - SPcorBWexp

## SPcorBWexp

#### Routine

void SPcorBWexp (double bwexp, const float rxx[], float rxxb[], int Nc)

#### Purpose

Bandwidth expand a set of correlation values

#### Description

The procedure forms the bandwidth expanded version of a set of correlation values. The correlation coefficients are multiplied by a Gaussian function. This is equivalent to convolving the power spectral density by a Gaussian function. The bandwidth expansion is measured in terms of the width of the Gaussian function in the frequency domain. A power spectrum consisting of spectral lines will have each spectral line converted into a Gaussian function with this bandwidth.

The Gaussian function is specified in terms of its normalized bandwidth (measured at the 1 standard deviation point). The 3 dB bandwidth is related to the 1 sigma bandwidth by the following relationship.

      B3dB = sqrt (2 ln 2) Bsigma = 1.1774 Bsigma

The ITU-T G.729 8 kb/s CS-ACELP speech coder uses a 1 sigma bandwidth expansion of 60 Hz relative to a sampling rate of 8000 Hz (bwexp = 60/8000 = 0.0075).
