“…Before transformation of the acquired data to the frequency domain, preprocessing is performed. Preprocessing steps may include, for example, digital filtering [268,290,314], gain and offset compensation [290,292], segmentation [112,315], windowing [112,306,307,316], zeropadding [308], and down sampling [293,296,312]. Potential uses of digital filtering include HPFs to remove low frequency components [290] and compensate for drift [314], Bandpass Filters (BPFs) as preparation for correlation based postprocessing [268] as well as decimation filters for down sampling [293,296].…”
