Abstract

An apparatus and method for frequency division and filtering are provided. The apparatus includes a memory unit, an extrema calculation unit, and an envelope calculation unit. The memory unit is for storing sample data. The extrema calculation unit is for outputting and storing a number of maximum values and a number of minimum values to the memory unit according to the sample data. The envelope calculation unit is for calculating a mean envelope according to the maximum values and the minimum values, wherein within a duration when the envelope calculation unit respectively calculates an upper envelope and a lower envelope according to the maximum values and the minimum values, the envelope calculation unit outputs a value of the mean envelope to the memory unit according to a value of the upper envelope and a value of the lower envelope with respect to a corresponding identical address.
