Hi, Friends!

Does anyone read Mr. Fredric Harris's book
"Multirate signal processing for communication systems" ?

I think it's a good book for engineering,
but some descriptions make me confused.

On page 53, Chapter 3
"For a specific example, the filter presented in Figure 3.20 designed for
60dB side-lobe levels is used in a 32-to-1 down sampling application. If the
side-lobes are equiripple at 60-dB the integrated side-lobe level is -36.1dB
which, when distributed over the remaining bandwidth of 1/32 (-15.1 dB) of
input sample rate, results in an effective alias side-lobe suppression
of -51 .2dB, equivalent."

Who knows the "integrated side-lobe level"'s meaning?
And why it's "-36.1dB "?
It's a pity that Mr.Harris may does not receive my Email and doesn't reply.
Who can give me a help for this question?

That's the name of the integral of the filter response across all the
sidelobes in the stopband.

That's the calculation of the integral of the filter response across
all the sidelobes in the stopband.

Of course, it's power that one integrates, not voltage gain.

P2, the reference for the dB expression, is the peak of the response
in the passband.

P1 is "the calculation of the integral of the filter response across
all the sidelobes in the stopband."

The "response" is the magnitude squared.

Thank you ALL! Friends!
I have known the meaning of "integrated side-lobe level"
But who can provide a simple example for the calculation process of
integrated side-lobe level?
If it's the process of Harris's -36.1dB, the Better!
