so it is a filter to filter the noise at the noise floor level am i correct?
but there is also a windowing in the flow graph.. I think this windowing is
also used for the filtering the noise including noise in the noise floor
level (please fix me). if not, may i know what is the usage of this window
and what is the different between this window and the iir filter used in
this flowgraph?
