Response Function
qTime filters are the same as the data window we have discussed earlier.

q
qBy performing Fourier transform, we know that:
q
qThe ration between the filtered and original power spectrum is called the “response function”:
q
qIf R(w)=1 č the original amplitude at frequency w is kept.
q         R(w)=0 č the original amplitude at frequency w is filtered out.
