%REF_SFAC  Reference signal factorization
%   Usage: gf=ref_sfac(g,a,M);
%
%   Input parameters:
%         f     : Input signal.
%         a     : Length of time shift.
%         b     : Length of frequency shift.
%   Output parameters:
%         ff    : Factored signal
%
%  This function cannot handle multidimensional arrays.
%  Reshape to matrix BEFORE you call this.
