  • Title: Harbor porpoise clicks do not have conditionally minimum time bandwidth product.
    Author: Beedholm K.
    Journal: J Acoust Soc Am; 2008 Aug; 124(2):EL15-20. PubMed ID: 18681496.
    Abstract:
    The hypothesis that odontocete clicks have minimal time frequency product given their delay and center frequency values is tested by using an in-phase averaged porpoise click compared with a pure tone weighted with the same envelope. These signals have the same delay and the same center frequency values but the time bandwidth product of the artificial click is only 0.76 that of the original. Therefore signals with the same parameters exist that have a lower time bandwidth product. The observation that porpoise clicks are in fact minimum phase is confirmed for porpoise clicks and this property is argued to be incompatible with optimal reception, if auditory filters are also minimum phase.
