Dynamic Bandwidth.

Abstract

Rihaczek has defined the dynamic bandwidth of a signal as the square root of the magnitude of the derivative of the instantaneous frequency. This tutorial report reviews the work of Rihaczek and Baghdady on the practical applications of this quantity. It is shown that the dynamic bandwidth is useful as a measure of (1) the frequency spread of the signal energy about the instantaneous frequency, (2) the time stability of the instantaneous frequency, and (3) the minimum bandwidth of a filter that can pass the signal without significant phase distortion.
