KaiserBesselWindow

KaiserBesselWindow[x]

represents a Kaiser–Bessel window function of x.

Details

  • KaiserBesselWindow 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.
  • KaiserBesselWindow[x] is equal to  (498 cos(2 pi x)+99 cos(4 pi x)+cos(6 pi x)+402)/(1000) -1/2<=x<=1/2; 0 TemplateBox[{x}, Abs]>1/2; .
  • KaiserBesselWindow automatically threads over lists.
