Perfect signal processing (filtering) is essential for the best decoding results which are achieved by using the correct filters in the receiver. Doing so prevents blocking effects from strong nearby signals. However correctly processed signals may be unavailable, e.g., when a receiver does not offer optimum filters or when using recorded signals. To overcome these obstacles additional passband filters are included in the WAVECOM decoders to assist the operator in separating signals within the analyzed frequency spectrum.
Depending on the demodulator (Modulation) used by a mode the user may set the passband filter parameters: Passband Center, Passband Bandwidth and Center. (See the table below).
