2. The frequency band of background noise caused by vacuum pump operation is
less than 20 kHz, which can be removed by high pass filtering in the analysis of
leak signal. By analyzing ASL, Energy and RMS parameters of the leak signal,
different leak holes can be identified and the leak rate can be evaluated.
