Cutoff time is the time between the stop time (-6 dB on the filter skirt) and the
peak of the first sidelobe.

— T
For all filter shapes T2 is equal to T3, and the filter is the same on both sides of
the center time.
Minimum gate span is twice the cutoff time. Each gate shape has a minimum
recommended gate span for proper operation. This is a consequence of the
finite cutoff rate of the gate. If you specify a gate span that is smaller than the
minimum span, the response will show the following effects:
— distorted gate shape that has no passband
— distorted shape
— incorrect indications of start and stop times
— may have increased sidelobe levels.
