TAYLORWIN
Purpose: Multiplies a series with a Taylor window.
Syntax: TAYLORWIN(s, nbar, attn)
s - A series, the input series.
nbar - Optional. A positive integer, the number of
approximate constant level sidelobes adjacent to
the mainlobe. Defaults to 4.
attn - Optional. A negative real, the sidelobe attenuation
in dB from the mainlobe. Defaults to -30.
Returns: A series.
Example:
W1: gsin(1000, 0.001, 45)
W2: taylorwin(w1)
W1 contains a 1000 point sinewave with a frequency of 45 Hz.
W2 multiplies the sinewave with a Taylor window.
Example:
W1: gsin(1000, 0.001, 45)
W2: taylorwin(w1, 5, -35)
Same as the first example except the number of approximately
constant sidelobes is 5 and the sidelobe attenuation is -35 dB.
Example:
W1: taylorwin(100, 5, -35)
W2: magspec(w1, 8192);20*log10(curr/max(curr))
W1 creates a 100 point Taylor window where the number of
approximately constant level sidelobes is 5 and the
sidelobe attenuation is -35 dB. W2 displays the frequency
response.
Example:
taylorwin(100, 5, -35)
Creates a 100 point Taylor window where the number of
approximately constant level sidelobes is 5 and the
sidelobe attenuation is -35 dB.
Remarks:
Taylor windows are similar to Dolph-Chebyshev windows.
The Taylor window approximates the minimization of the
main lobe width in the Dolph-Chebyshev window, but allows
the sidelobe levels to decrease beyond a certain
frequency.
Because the Taylor distribution avoids edge
discontinuities, the window sidelobes decrease
monotonically.
The Taylor window coefficients are not normalized.
Taylor windows are typically used in radar applications,
such as weighting synthetic aperture radar images,
circular array antennas and antenna design.
NBAR is the number of approximately equal sidelobes adjacent
to the mainlobe and should satisfy:
NBAR >= 2 * A^2 + 0.5
where
A = acosh(10^(attn / 20)) / pi
otherwise the sidelobe level specified is not guaranteed.
The attn parameter specifies the maximum sidelobe level in
dB relative to the mainlobe level.
If the input is an integer with a value of N, an N point
Taylor window is returned. See GTAYLORWIN to also create
an N point Taylor window.
See CHEBWIN to create a Dolph-Chebyshev window.
