parzenwin

Parzen (de la Vallée Poussin) window

Description

w = parzenwin(L) returns the L-point Parzen (de la Vallée Poussin) window.

example

w = parzenwin(L,typeName) specifies the option to return the window w with single or double precision.

Examples

collapse all

Compare 64-point Parzen and Gaussian windows. Display the result using wvtool.

gw = gausswin(64);
pw = parzenwin(64);
wvtool(gw,pw)

Figure Window Visualization Tool contains 2 axes objects and other objects of type uimenu, uitoolbar, uipanel. Axes object 1 with title Time domain, xlabel Samples, ylabel Amplitude contains 2 objects of type line. Axes object 2 with title Frequency domain, xlabel Normalized Frequency (\times\pi rad/sample), ylabel Magnitude (dB) contains 2 objects of type line.

Input Arguments

collapse all

Window length, specified as a positive integer.

Note

If you specify L as noninteger, the function rounds it to the nearest integer value.

Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64

Since R2024b

Output data type (class), specified as one of these:

  • "double" — Use this option to return a double-precision output w.

  • "single" — Use this option to return a single-precision output w.

Data Types: char | string

Output Arguments

collapse all

Parzen window, returned as a column vector of length L. For the equation that defines the Parzen window, see Algorithms.

Algorithms

Parzen windows are piecewise-cubic approximations of Gaussian windows. Parzen window sidelobes fall off as 1/ω4.

This equation defines the N–point Parzen window over the interval (N1)2n(N1)2:

w(n)={16(|n|N/2)2+6(|n|N/2)30|n|(N1)/42(1|n|N/2)3(N1)/4<|n|(N1)/2
