Abstract
Abstract Apparatus to determine directly from a signal the frequency which represents the standard deviation in the output spectrum of the signal as well as the ratio between the standard deviation of the output spectrum of the derived signal and the above-mentioned standard deviation in the output spectrum of the original signal. The invention is particularly characterized in that the standard deviation or variance of the derived signal is divided by the standard deviation or variance of the original signal, and in that the standard deviation or variance of the twice derived signal is divided by the standard deviation or variance of the single derived signal, whereupon the quotient produced by this procedure is divided by the quotient (standard deviation frequency) produced by the first-mentioned procedure.
