HWindow

A collection of window functions.

Methods

barthann

barthann(npoints: integer, sym: bool, dtype: HDataType) -> HArray source

Returns a modified Bartlett-Hann window.

The maximum value is normalized to 1 (though the value 1 does not appear if npoints is even and window_type is symmetric).

Arguments

  • npoints

An integer. Number of points in the output window.

  • sym

A bool.

When TRUE, generates a symmetric window, for use in filter design.

When FALSE, generates a periodic window, for use in spectral analysis.

  • dtype

An HDataType to indicate which type of HArray to be created.

Must be a float dtype.

Returns

An HArray.

Examples

library(harmnonium)
HWindow$barthann(npoints = 10L, sym = TRUE, dtype = HDataType$Float64)

bartlett

bartlett(npoints: integer, sym: bool, dtype: HDataType) -> HArray source

\(w(n) = \frac{2}{npoints-1} (\frac{npoints-1}{2} - |n - \frac{npoints-1}{2}|)\)

The Bartlett window is very similar to a triangular window, except that the end points are at zero. It is often used in signal processing for tapering a signal, without generating too much ripple in the frequency domain.

The maximum value is normalized to 1 (though the value 1 does not appear if npoints is even and window_type is symmetric.

Arguments

  • npoints

An integer. Number of points in the output window.

  • sym

A bool.

When TRUE, generates a symmetric window, for use in filter design.

When FALSE, generates a periodic window, for use in spectral analysis.

  • dtype

An HDataType to indicate which type of HArray to be created.

Must be a float dtype.

Returns

An HArray.

Examples

library(harmnonium)
HWindow$bartlett(npoints = 10L, sym = TRUE, dtype = HDataType$Float64)

blackman

blackman(npoints: integer, sym: bool, dtype: HDataType) -> HArray source

Returns a Blackman window.

\(w(n) = 0.42 - 0.5 \cos(2\pi n/npoints) + 0.08 \cos(4\pi n/npoints)\)

The Blackman window is a taper formed by using the first three terms of a summation of cosines. It was designed to have close to the minimal leakage possible. It is close to optimal, only slightly worse than a Kaiser window.

The maximum value is normalized to 1 (though the value 1 does not appear if npoints is even and sym is TRUE).

The “exact Blackman” window was designed to null out the third and fourth sidelobes, but has discontinuities at the boundaries, resulting in a 6 dB/oct fall-off. This window is an approximation of the “exact” window, which does not null the sidelobes as well, but is smooth at the edges, improving the fall-off rate to 18 dB/oct.

Most references to the Blackman window come from the signal processing literature, where it is used as one of many windowing functions for smoothing values. It is also known as an apodization (which means “removing the foot”, i.e. smoothing discontinuities at the beginning and end of the sampled signal) or tapering function. It is known as a “near optimal” tapering function, almost as good (by some measures) as the Kaiser window.

Arguments

  • npoints

blackmanharris

blackmanharris(npoints: integer, sym: bool, dtype: HDataType) -> HArray source

bohman

bohman(npoints: integer, sym: bool, dtype: HDataType) -> HArray source

boxcar

boxcar(npoints: integer, dtype: HDataType) -> HArray source

Returns a boxcar or rectangular window.

Also known as a rectangular window or Dirichlet window, this is equivalent to no window at all.

Arguments

  • npoints

An integer. Number of points in the output window.

  • dtype

An HDataType to indicate which type of HArray to be created.

Must be a float dtype.

Returns

An HArray.

cosine

cosine(npoints: integer, sym: bool, dtype: HDataType) -> HArray source

Returns a window with a simple cosine shape.

Arguments

  • npoints

An integer. Number of points in the output window.

  • sym

A bool.

The maximum value is normalized to 1 (though the value 1 does not appear if npoints is even and window_type is symmetric.

The Hann window is a taper formed by using a raised cosine or sine-squared with ends that touch zero.
