k1 and k2

9.2.6. Iterations
Once
all
these coefficients
are
determined,
one
calculates
the
spectrum
of the
signal thus made
up. All
this work
was
carried
out up to now by
supposing
the
influence
of
each decaying sine
of frequency fi on the
other points
of the
spectrum
to be
negligible. This assumption
is
actually
too
simplifying,
and the
spectrum
obtained
does
not
match
the
specified spectrum.
It is
thus necessary
to
proceed
to
successive iterations
to
refine
the
values
of the
amplitudes
A i of the
components
of
x(t):
The
iterations
can be
carried
out by
correcting
the
amplitudes
of the
elementary
waveforms
by a
simple rule
of
three. More elaborate relations were proposed, such
as
[BOI 81], [CRI 78]:
where
-
S
c
^
n
'(fj)
is the
amplitude
of the
spectrum calculated using
the
values
Ai of the
nth
iteration
at the frequency fi;
-
S(fi)
is the
value
of the
reference spectrum
to the frequency fi;
-
S
c
(fi)
is the
amplitude
of the
spectrum calculated with
the
values
Ai of the
nth
iteration
at the frequency fi,
except
for the
coefficient
Ai
which
is
added with
an
increment
AAi
(0.05 gives satisfactory results);
