This filtering process consi.sts i.n a convolution of 2c.t) with a<br />
filter function \d(t) - in the - time do1naj.n and thus corresponds to a<br />
multiplication of Z with W in the frequency domain. But because<br />
the filtering procedure is intended to prepare the time series for<br />
the Fourier transformation it must be carried out in the time domain<br />
