ConnesWindow

ConnesWindow[x]

represents a Connes window function of x.

ConnesWindow[x,α]

uses the parameter α.

Details

  • ConnesWindow 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.
  • ConnesWindow[x,α] is equal to  ((alpha^2-4 x^2)^2)/(alpha^4) -1/2<=x<=1/2; 0 TemplateBox[{x}, Abs]>1/2; .
  • ConnesWindow[x] is equivalent to ConnesWindow[x,1].
  • ConnesWindow automatically threads over lists.

Possible Issues  (1)

2D sampling of a Connes window will use a different parameter for each row of samples when passed as a symbol to Array:

Use a pure function instead:
