   <title>Description</title>
   <para>
This is an Octave function
In theory, it forwards and reverse filters the signal and corrects phase distortion upto an extent by a one-pass filter but squares the magnitude response in the process. Practically though, the correction isn't perfect and magnitude response, particularly the stop band is distorted.
