def loudness_zwst(signal, fs, field_type="free"):
"""
Compute the loudness value from a time signal
This function computes the acoustic loudness according to Zwicker method for
stationary signals (ISO.532-1:2017).
Parameters
----------
signal : numpy.array
Signal time values [Pa], dim (nperseg, nseg).
fs : float
Sampling frequency [Hz]
field_type : str
Type of soundfield corresponding to spec_third ("free" by
default or "diffuse").
Returns
-------
N : float or array_like
Overall loudness array in [sones], size (Ntime,).
N_specific : array_like
Specific loudness array [sones/bark], size (Nbark, Ntime).
bark_axis: array_like
Bark axis array, size (Nbark,).
Warning
-------
The sampling frequency of the signal must be >= 48 kHz to fulfill requirements.
If the provided signal doesn't meet the requirements, it will be resampled.

.loudness_zwst_freq : Loudness computation from a sound spectrum
.loudness_zwtv : Loudness computation for a non-stationary time signal
Notes
-----
The total loudness :math:`N` of the signal is computed as the integral of the specific loudness :math:`N'` measured in sone/bark, over the Bark scale.
The values of specific loudness are evaluated from third octave band levels as function of critical band rate :math:`z` in Bark.
.. math::
N=\\int_{0}^{24Bark}N'(z)\\textup{dz}
Due to normative continuity, the method is in accordance with ISO 226:1987 equal loudness contours
instead of ISO 226:2003, as defined in the following standards:
* ISO 532:1975 (method B)
* DIN 45631:1991
* ISO 532-1:2017 (method 1)
