1. A method of applying a transfer function comprising:
- determining a desired output wave parameter;
isolating an amplitude characteristic from a phase characteristic of an input wave;
deriving a transfer function from said desired output wave parameter;
applying said transfer function to the amplitude characteristic of said input wave; and
generating an output wave by combining the amplitude and phase characteristics, said output wave having the desired output wave parameter as a result of applying the transfer function to the amplitude characteristic of the input wave,wherein determining a desired output wave parameter further comprises determining an output signal noise parameter and wherein deriving said transfer function from said desired output wave parameter further comprises deriving an impulse response for a filter.

Abstract
Apparatus, methods and articles of manufacture are disclosed for modifying electromagnetic waves by reducing noise in those waves. A transfer function for a plurality of segments is derived through identifying a desired output parameter. That transfer function is then applied, via a plurality of filters or other devices, to a wave, in order to achieve said transfer function.
