Module containing the DpfSolution class and its children.

Each class highlights an analysis type and provides hard-coded methods to get a result object regarding the wanted result type.

This module also contains the DpfComplexSolution class, which is a child of the DpfSolution class. In addition to the classic APIs, the complex result introduces an amplitude evaluation.
