# bohmanwin

Bohman window

w = bohmanwin(L)

## Description

w = bohmanwin(L) returns an L-point Bohman window in column vector w. A Bohman window is the convolution of two half-duration cosine lobes. In the time domain, it is the product of a triangular window and a single cycle of a cosine with a term added to set the first derivative to zero at the boundary. Bohman windows fall off as 1/w4.

### Bohman Window

Compute a 64-point Bohman window. Display the result using wvtool.

```L = 64;
bw = bohmanwin(L);
wvtool(bw)
```

### Algorithms

The equation for computing the coefficients of a Bohman window is

$w\left(x\right)=\left(1-|x|\right)\mathrm{cos}\left(\pi |x|\right)+\frac{1}{\pi }\mathrm{sin}\left(\pi |x|\right)\text{ }-1\le x\le 1$

where x is a length-L vector of linearly spaced values generated using linspace. The first and last elements of the Bohman window are forced to be identically zero.
