PDdNC[PLES OF OPEItATION
The OB-d5 is a Class 11 Octave Band Filter set conforming to
ANSI $1.11-1971 specifications, The normalized passband character.
istics of the filters are depicted in Figure 11.
The filters are flat within 1 dB ill the Imndpass, with tile 3 dB
down points lit ,707 Fo lind 1,dl,I Fo where Fo is center freqtlency
of the band chosen. '1'11oFo/2 and the 2F o magnitudes are down by
npproximately 18.5 dB with the decade points down by greater than
60 dB.
The block diagram of the OB-,15 showing the signal input from
the 215 Sound Level Meter through tile filters and back to the Sound
Level Meter is illustrated in Figure 12,
