Window Functions and Their Applications in Signal Processing

Window Functions - otherwise known as weighting functions, tapering functions, or apodization functions―are mathematical functions that are zero-valued outside the chosen interval. They are well established as a vital part of digital signal processing. This book presents an exhaustive and detailed account of window functions and their applications in signal processing, focusing on the areas of digital spectral analysis, design of FIR filters, pulse compression radar, and speech signal processing.
