TukeyWindow

TukeyWindow[x]

represents a Tukey window function of x.

TukeyWindow[x,α]

uses the parameter α.

Details

  • TukeyWindow, also known as the cosine-tapered window, 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.
  • TukeyWindow[x,α] is equal to  1 (0<a<1∧a-2 x-1<=0∧a+2 x-1<=0)∨(a=1∧x=0)∨(a<=0∧-1/2<=x<=1/2); 1/2 (cos(2 pi x)+1) a>1∧-1/2<=x<=1/2; 1/2 (cos((2 pi (-a/2+x+1/2))/a)+1) 0<a<=1∧x>=-1/2∧a-2 x-1>0; 1/2 (cos((2 pi (a/2+x-1/2))/a)+1) 0<a<=1∧a+2 x-1>0∧x<=1/2; 0 TemplateBox[{x}, Abs]>1/2; .
  • TukeyWindow[x] is equivalent to TukeyWindow[x,2/3].
  • TukeyWindow automatically threads over lists.

Possible Issues  (1)

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

Use a pure function instead:
