Abstract
The flatness factor F of the signal transmitted through a band-pass filter has been measured for the turbulence in a free shear layer and for a squared Gaussian noise. They both show flatness factor increasing with centre frequency fc. In the turbulence, band-passed signals look intermittent and have larger F than the full signal, but in the squared noise, band-passed signals all have smaller F than the full signal although they look more intermittent.It is shown analytically that the derivative of a smoothed, squared Gaussian noise may have flatness factor either greater or less than the undifferentiated signal.
