Preface

 

 

 

This monograph presents an exhaustive and detailed account of 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. As a popular quote goes, there are as many numbers of windows as the number of people working in signal processing.

Chapter 1 deals with the Fourier analysis techniques. First, the basic signals and systems in the continuous time-domain are introduced, followed by the continuous-time Fourier transform (CTFT). Its properties and some examples are discussed next. We then move on to the discrete-time Fourier transform (DTFT), the ...
