Kaiser window | EPFL Graph Search

The Kaiser window, also known as the Kaiser–Bessel window, was developed by James Kaiser at Bell Laboratories. It is a one-parameter family of window functions used in finite impulse response filter design and spectral analysis. The Kaiser window approximates the DPSS window which maximizes the energy concentration in the main lobe but which is difficult to compute. The Kaiser window and its Fourier transform are given by: where: I0 is the zeroth-order modified Bessel function of the first kind, L is the window duration, and α is a non-negative real number that determines the shape of the window. In the frequency domain, it determines the trade-off between main-lobe width and side lobe level, which is a central decision in window design. Sometimes the Kaiser window is parametrized by β, where β = πα. For digital signal processing, the function can be sampled symmetrically as: where the length of the window is and N can be even or odd. (see A list of window functions) In the Fourier transform, the first null after the main lobe occurs at which is just in units of N (DFT "bins"). As α increases, the main lobe increases in width, and the side lobes decrease in amplitude. α = 0 corresponds to a rectangular window. For large α, the shape of the Kaiser window (in both time and frequency domain) tends to a Gaussian curve. The Kaiser window is nearly optimal in the sense of its peak's concentration around frequency A related window function is the Kaiser–Bessel-derived (KBD) window, which is designed to be suitable for use with the modified discrete cosine transform (MDCT). The KBD window function is defined in terms of the Kaiser window of length N+1, by the formula: This defines a window of length 2N, where by construction dn satisfies the Princen-Bradley condition for the MDCT (using the fact that w_N−n = w_n): d_n2 + (d_n+N)2 = 1 (interpreting n and n + N modulo 2N). The KBD window is also symmetric in the proper manner for the MDCT: dn = d2N−1−n. The KBD window is used in the Advanced Audio Coding digital audio format.

Disentangling Thermal from Electronic Contributions in the Spectral Response of Photoexcited Perovskite Materials

Majed Chergui, Thomas Charles Henry Rossi, Malte Oppermann, Lijie Wang

Disentangling electronic and thermal effects in photoexcited perovskite materials is crucial for photovoltaic and optoelectronic applications but remains a challenge due to their intertwined nature in both the time and energy domains. In this study, we emp ...

Visual feature integration: how long can it last?

Michael Herzog, Leila Drissi Daoudi - Kleinbauer, Lukas Vogelsang

Spatiotemporal features are integrated along motion trajectories. For example, when a central line is followed by pairs of flanking lines, two motion streams diverging from the center are perceived. The central line is rendered invisible by the subsequent ...
