Introduction

This project consists of a sole function named r468. The function takes a frequency value and returns a weighted dB value. For weightening, the ITU-R BS.468-4 standard and the SMPTE RP 2054:2010 recommended practice are followed.

The math for this project is taken from Wikipedia (as of 2019-08-08):

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITU-R_468_noise_weighting (archived version)

Installation

pip install itu_r_468_weighting

More infos on the project page on PyPI.

Example Usage

from itu_r_468_weighting.filter import r468

r468(1000, "1khz")
r468(1000, "2khz")

Function Description

r468(frequency_hz, khz_option)

• Takes a frequency value and returns a weighted dB value.

Parameters

frequency_hz : float

• The frequency value (in Hz) must be a value greater 0.

khz_option : str

• Choose 1khz or 2khz as an weighting option. The weighting curves have the same shape for both options. They are shifted in a way, that the gain is 0.0 dB at the given frequency (1 or 2 kHz).

Returns

float

• The dB weighted value of the frequency.

Raises

ValueError

• If parameter frequency_hz is not greater 0.
• If parameter khz_option is not equal to 1khz or 2khz.
