Topics

  • Get Started with Window Designer

    Use the Window Designer app to design and analyze spectral windows.

  • Windows

    Learn about spectral windows and how to analyze them using toolbox functions.

  • Generalized Cosine Windows

    Blackman, flat top, Hamming, Hann, and rectangular windows are all special cases of the generalized cosine window.

  • Kaiser Window

    The Kaiser window is designed to maximize the ratio of mainlobe energy to sidelobe energy.

  • Chebyshev Window

    The Chebyshev window minimizes the mainlobe width for a particular sidelobe level and exhibits equiripple sidelobe behavior.
