The bandwidth mode defines the bandwidth of each filter specified by the centre frequency mode. It is implemented in the same way as the centre frequency mode, so any readers who require more detail concerning the implementation should familiarise themselves with the description given above for the centre frequency modes. In figure [27] the bandwidth mode specification occurs on line 4 for parameter file (A) and line 6 for parameter file (B).
The available bandwidth modes are given below in table [3]. The bandwidth's are controlled by the UtBandwidth utilities module.

The bandwidths, except for in the "USER" mode, are produce by a formula which relates the bandwidth to the filter centre frequency. It is therefore no too difficult to add other bandwidth modes as require.
