sigwin.nuttallwin class - Package: sigwin

Construct Nuttall defined 4–term Blackman-Harris window object

Description

sigwin.nuttallwin creates a handle to a Nuttall defined 4–term Blackman-Harris window object for use in spectral analysis and FIR filtering by the window method. Object methods enable workspace import and ASCII file export of the window values.

Construction

H = sigwin.nuttallwin returns a Nuttall defined 4–term Blackman-Harris window object window object H of length 64.

H = sigwin.nuttallwin(Length) returns a Nuttall defined 4–term Blackman-Harris window object H of length Length. Entering a positive noninteger value for Length rounds the length to the nearest integer. Entering a 1 for Length results in a window with a single value of 1. The SamplingFlag property defaults to 'symmetric'.

Properties

Length

Nuttall defined 4–term Blackman-Harris window length. The window length must be a positive integer. Entering a positive noninteger value for Length rounds the length to the nearest integer. Entering a 1 for Length results in a window with a single value of 1.

SamplingFlag

The type of window returned as one of 'symmetric' or 'periodic'. The default is 'symmetric'. A symmetric window exhibits perfect symmetry between halves of the window. Setting the SamplingFlag property to 'periodic' results in a N-periodic window. The equations for the Nuttall defined 4–term Blackman-Harris window differ slightly based on the value of the SamplingFlag property. See Definitions for details.

Methods

generate	Generates Nuttall defined 4–term Blackman-Harris window
info	Display information about Nuttall defined 4–term Blackman-Harris window object
winwrite	Save Nuttall defined 4-term Blackman-Harris window object values in ASCII file

Copy Semantics

Handle. To learn how copy semantics affect your use of the class, see Copying Objects in the MATLAB Programming Fundamentals documentation.

Examples

Construct a length N=64 symmetric Nuttall defined 4–term Blackman-Harris window:

H=sigwin.nuttallwin;
wvtool(H); 

Generate a length N=128 periodic Nuttall defined 4–term Blackman-Harris window, return values, and write ASCII file:

H=sigwin.nuttallwin(128);
H.SamplingFlag = 'periodic';
% Return window with generate
win=generate(H);
% Write ASCII file in current directory
% with window values
winwrite(H,'nuttallwin_128')
