Re: Hilbert envelope bandwidth

[Tarun Pruthi <tpruthi@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would think that it would simply be (f2-f1)/2. It should atleast
be true if the spectrum is symmetrical around (f2+f1)/2. I am not sure
what would happen if the spectrum is not symmetrical around (f2+f1)/2.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
