Best Methods for Interpolating Short Non-Periodic Bandlimited Signals

I need advice on interpolating a very short (N < 10) discrete, bandlimited signal that is sampled above the Nyquist rate. I understand that technically finite length signals have infinite bandwidth,...

What are the advantages of using the Dirichlet kernel for interpolation?

Suppose we define the Dirichlet kernel as: $$ \frac{\sin(\pi N x /2)}{\pi N\sin(x /2)} $$ (Note: I'm not entirely sure what the standard definition of the Dirichlet kernel is; mine is slightly ...

Calculating the main lobe width of Dirichlet kernel

The Dirichlet kernel of order $N$ is defined as: $$ D(\theta,N)=\frac{\sin(N\theta /2)}{\sin(\theta /2)} $$ We know that the main lobe widths between zero crossings is: $4\pi/N$ I was wondering if ...

Multiplying a finite signal with a unity window

I have a simple question to ask: Suppose $x[n]$ is finite and has a support for $|n|<L$ Let's denote its DTFT by $\operatorname{DTFT}\big\{x[n]\big\}(e^{j\omega})=X(\omega)$ Let's consider a unity ...

Frequency Interpolation of DFT to create Zero-Padded IFFT

As a response to this question I have proposed interpolating new samples in a DFT (meaning the frequency samples of an existing DFT result) sufficient to be the new samples that if we were to take the ...

Radix2 fft - zero padding output size

With zeros padding the FFT radix2 has different input size than output. How to deal with that? I see two solutions but not sure which one is better/appropriate. Maybe you know some other and better ...

Whittaker-Shannon ($\mathrm{sinc}$) interpolation for a finite number of samples

Given an infinite number of samples $(N)$, a higher (or lower) number of samples $(cN)$ can be derived using sinc interpolation followed by sampling. How can this be applied to finite length signals? ...
