BlackmanNuttallWindow

BlackmanNuttallWindow[x]

represents a Blackman–Nuttall window function of x.

Details

  • BlackmanNuttallWindow is a window function typically used in signal processing applications where data needs to be processed in short segments.
  • Window functions have a smoothing effect by gradually tapering data values to zero at the ends of each segment.
  • BlackmanNuttallWindow[x] is equal to  (4891775 cos(2 pi x)+1365995 cos(4 pi x)+106411 cos(6 pi x)+3635819)/(10000000) -1/2<=x<=1/2; 0 TemplateBox[{x}, Abs]>1/2; .
  • BlackmanNuttallWindow automatically threads over lists.
