### Tuner Channelizer
SDR tuners capture a broad swath of the frequency spectrum containing multiple radio channels. sdrtrunk
employs a channelizer to extract each radio channel for decoding. sdrtrunk provides two channelizers to choose from.

* **Heterdyne** - the heterdyne channelizer applies a mixing frequency to mix the channel of interest
down to the zero frequency and then it uses a sequence of half-band decimation filters to incrementally
divide the sample rate and bandwidth in half. These half-band decimation filters are computationally
efficient. However, the filters do not provide a sharp cutoff at the channel band edges and this can sometimes
allow bleedover from strong adjacent channels. Use this channelizer if you are only decoding a few channels to
reduce the processing workload.
* **Polyphase** - the polyphase channelizer uses a single filter and an FFT to break the entire bandwidth of the SDR
into equal bandwidth channels. This channelizer is more efficient than the heterodyne channelizer when you are decoding
three or more channels at the same time. This is the default channelizer.
