functionFIR_window

Calculation of n-point weighting window for FIR filter

Information

Weighting windows are used for digital filter design or spectrum estimation (e.g. DFT) to increase the quality. In designing FIR-Filter the main role of windowing is to remove non-ideal effects caused by the endless number of filter coefficients (Gibbs phenomenon). Multiplying the coefficients with a window damps the coefficients at the beginning and at the end.

The function outputs a L-point vector for a given kind of window. The parameter "beta" is only needed by the Kaiser window. The types of windows are:

  1. Rectangle
  2. Bartlett
  3. Hann
  4. Hamming
  5. Blackman
  6. Kaiser
