$$\small X = a \cos[2\pi/T (t-t_0)] - b \sin[2\pi /T (t-t_0)$$    $$\small Y = b cos[2\pi/T (t-t_0)] + a sin[2\pi/T (t-t_0) ]$$ with $$\small a = A \cos\phi$$      $$\small b = A\sin\phi$$

  • The Vondrak filter transfer function at another period P is given by T=1/(1+(P0/P)6 (1-T0)/T0)
  • For the case "Select band around" the periods in [P0-0.1*P0, P0+0.1*P0] are transmitted with the rate > T0%.
  • For the case "Remove band around" the periods outside [P0-0.1*P0, P0+0.1*P0] are transmitted with the rate > T0 %.

This band pass filter was designed by Russian astronomer and gravimetrist V. L. Panteleev. Its frequency transfer function is given by $$\small T(f) = \frac{f_0^4}{ ( f - f_c)^4 + f_0^4 }$$. At the edges of the window $$\small |f - f_c| = f_0$$ and $$\small T = 0.5$$.

Singular Spectral Analysis (SSA)
-  Zoom between and   
The extracted components are decorellated over time windows of (in the time unit) with the interpolation lag (in the time unit). Firt step consists in the determination of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors printed by decreasing weight. Then 5 singular components are reconstructed according to the following combinations of eigenvectors, to be stated from the analysis of the eigenvalues .
