environmentaltools.processes.frequency_limits(Te)

Obtain cutoff frequencies for Baquerizo’s wave separation method.

Calculates the frequency range for spectral analysis of incident and reflected waves, centered around the peak frequency.

Parameters:

Te (float) – Wave energy period (s)

Returns:

• f1 (float) – Lower cutoff frequency (Hz), equal to 0.5 * peak frequency

• f2 (float) – Upper cutoff frequency (Hz), equal to 1.5 * peak frequency

• fp (float) – Peak frequency (Hz), equal to 1/Te

Notes

All frequencies are rounded to 2 decimal places. This defines the spectral window for wave reflection analysis.
