KaiserWindow

KaiserWindow[x]

represents a Kaiser window function of x.

KaiserWindow[x,α]

uses the parameter α.

Details

  • KaiserWindow, also know as KaiserBessel window, is a window function typically used for finite impulse response (FIR) filter design and spectral analysis.
  • Window functions are used in applications where data is processed in short segments and have a smoothing effect by gradually tapering data values to zero at the ends of each segment.
  • KaiserWindow[x,α] is equivalent to for -x and 0 otherwise.
  • KaiserWindow[x] is equivalent to KaiserWindow[x,3].
  • KaiserWindow automatically threads over lists.

Two-dimensional sampling of Kaiser window will use a different parameter for each row of samples when passed as a symbol to Array:

Use a pure function instead:
