windowing: Windowing functions

In signal: Signal Processing

Windowing functions

Description

A variety of generally Matlab/Octave compatible filter generation functions, including Bartlett, Blackman, Hamming, Hanning, and triangular.

Usage

bartlett(n) 
blackman(n) 
boxcar(n) 
flattopwin(n, sym = c('symmetric', 'periodic')) 
gausswin(n, w = 2.5) 
hamming(n) 
hanning(n) 
triang(n)

Arguments

n	length of the filter; number of coefficients to generate.
w	the reciprocal of the standard deviation for gausswin. Use larger a for a narrower window.
sym	'symmetric' for a symmetric window, 'periodic' for a periodic window.

Details

triang, unlike the bartlett window, does not go to zero at the edges of the window. For odd n, triang(n) is equal to bartlett(n+2) except for the zeros at the edges of the window.

A main use of flattopwin is for calibration, due to its negligible amplitude errors. This window has low pass-band ripple, but high bandwidth.

Value

Filter coefficients.
