3. FFT Based Octave Analysis
FFT analysis is named narrow band frequency analysis, but octave analysis which is describing in
this paragraph is called broad band analysis. Octave means the twice frequency of reference’s
frequency. Reference frequency is defined as 1kHz in the International Standards-ANSI S1.11.
Therefore, we can make bandpass filters with center frequency which is based on octave of 1kHz.
Octave analysis uses a lot of defined bandpass filter. The 1/1 octave bandpass filter with 1kHz
center frequency is shown in [Fig. V-3-2]. This 1/1 octave filter means bandpass filter with a full
octave band. 1/3 octave filters are realized by bandpass filter with bandwidth that is divided an octave
by 3. Therefore, you can get 1/1 octave data from 1/3 octave data.
