- Hi,
- In some texts I find windows defined with an "N-1"
- denominator and in others an " N " and would like fellow netters
- to clarify this apparent discrepancy. For example if a waveform
- whose period is (N * Ts) when synchronously sampled, has it's
- frequency slightly reduced so that a period would now
- have a duration of [(N + d) * Ts], which of the following
- would be appropriate , the hanning in a) or that in b).
- Ts = sampling period
- N is a positive integer
- d=(0,1)
-
- eg
- a) In article ;"On the use of windows for the
- Harmonic Analysis with the discrete Fourier Transform"
- by Harris,
-
- the hanning window is defined as
- w(n) = 0.5*[1 - cos(2*n*pi/N)] n=0,1,2,...N-1
-
- b) On pg. 94 of "Introduction to Applied Statistical signal
- analysis " by Richard Shiavi the hanning window is defined as:
-
- dt(n) = 0.5*[1 - cos(2*pi*n/(N-1))] 0 <= n <= N-1
-
- A few other references have either a) or b). This pattern is
- repeated for other windows too.
- When does one use a) or b).
