HammingWindow

HammingWindow[x]

represents a Hamming window function of x.

Details

  • HammingWindow is a window function typically used for pulse shaping in telecommunication applications as well as 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.
  • HammingWindow[x] is equal to  (21)/(46) cos(2 pi x)+(25)/(46) -1/2<=x<=1/2; 0 TemplateBox[{x}, Abs]>1/2; .
  • HammingWindow automatically threads over lists.
