chebwin: Dolph-Chebyshev window coefficients

In signal: Signal Processing

Dolph-Chebyshev window coefficients

Description

Returns the filter coefficients of the n-point Dolph-Chebyshev window with a given attenuation.

Usage

chebwin(n, at)

Arguments

n	length of the filter; number of coefficients to generate.
at	dB of attenuation in the stop-band of the corresponding Fourier transform.

Details

The window is described in frequency domain by the expression:

W(k) = \frac{Cheb(n-1, \beta * cos(pi * k/n))}{Cheb(n-1, \beta)}

with

\beta = cosh(1/(n-1) * acosh(10^{at/20}))

and Cheb(m,x) denoting the m-th order Chebyshev polynomial calculated at the point x.

Note that the denominator in W(k) above is not computed, and after the inverse Fourier transform the window is scaled by making its maximum value unitary.

Value

An array of length n with the filter coefficients.
