ERBEST - estimate ERB from impulse response

Program code:

function [BW, QERB]= erbest(impulse_ch, fsig, Fs)
%ERBEST estimate ERB from impulse response
%
%   ERBEST accepts an impulse response as an input. Based on its 
%   FFT and calculates its ERB (Equivalent Rectangular Bandwidth) 
%   and quality factor (QERB).
