 * It is suitable for signals where the bandwidth of interest B = 1/(4*Ts)
 * Where Ts is the time between samples.
 *
 * Although mu, the fractional delay, is specified as a float, it is actually
 * quantized.  0.0 <= mu <= 1.0.  That is, mu is quantized in the interpolate 
 * method to 32nd's of a sample.
