Chebyshev

This window produces the minimum sidelobe leakage, but offers zero rolloff. It is constructed in the frequency domain and inverted to produce the time domain data. For more information, see program 5.2 in IEEE Programs for Digital Signal Processing, IEEE Press, 1979. Unlike the alpha in the other adjustable windows, the Chebyshev adjustable parameter sets the sidelobe level in -dB. PeakLab offers the Chebyshev window from -30dB to -150dB.

Chebyshev Appr

This is an PeakLab approximation to the Chebshev window that is valid between -50 and -130 dB. The main application is in in the Fourier Spectrum of Unevenly Sampled Data option.

Slepian DPSS

This is the first of the Slepian discrete prolate spheroidal sequences, or eigentapers, with alpha equal to approximately the main lobe width. For more information, see Jonathan Lees and Jeffrey Park, "Multiple Taper Spectral Analysis", Computers and Geosciences, v21, p199, 1995.

Gaussian

Tapered-Cosine

taper ranges from Hann with alpha=0.5 to rectangular as alpha approaches 0
if(i>(int)(alpha*n+0.5) and i<(int)((1.0-alpha)*n-0.5)), 1.0, 0.5-0.5*cos((Pi/alpha/(n-1))*(if(i>0.5*n, n-i-1, i)))), i=0..n-1
