ExactBlackmanWindow

ExactBlackmanWindow[x]

represents an exact Blackman window function of x.

Details

  • ExactBlackmanWindow 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.
  • ExactBlackmanWindow[x] is equal to  (4620 cos(2 pi x)+715 cos(4 pi x)+3969)/(9304) -1/2<=x<=1/2; 0 TemplateBox[{x}, Abs]>1/2;
  • ExactBlackmanWindow automatically threads over lists.
