Abstract:

A heuristic algorithm is presented for calculating the essential bandwidth and essential duration, for a given proportion of energy constrained, for digital or digitized signals. These definitions for discrete time and frequency are based on those for continuous time and frequency by Landau and Pollak 1961.
