HannWindow

HannWindow[x]

represents a Hann window function of x.

HannWindow[x,α]

uses the parameter α.

Details

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

Possible Issues  (1)

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

Use a pure function instead:
