Find the Equivalent Noise Bandwidth

I have already asked (in another thread) how to quantify (specify) the window function I have created. One figure I need it seems is the Equivalent Noise Bandwidth (ENBW) Or Noise Equivalent Bandwidth....

Moving average vs. Moving median

I have read in many places that Moving median is a bit better than Moving average for some applications, because it is less sensitive to outliers. I wanted to test this assertion on real data, but I ...

Understanding overlapping in STFT

I understand the concept of the STFT. In order to avoid spectral leakage, you use a Hann window that overlaps by 50%. However, the problem that I have, is that the example code online does not account ...

Window period(overlap) and FFT

How does changing the window period (i.e the number of points overlap between two frames) affect the FFT results ? Suppose that a time series signal was converted to frequency domain by FFT with ...

upward shift in FFT windowed - attenuate fluctuation in FFT

I would like to limit the noise after the FFT. I have used this strategy: Divide the signal in segments using a Hann window Perform abs(FFT(segment)) Ensemble ...

Window with optimal sidelobes for a given ENBW / frequency-resolution

Is there a family of windows which is "optimal" in terms of energy above/below a boundary, but with controllable ENBW/bandwidth? By optimal, I mean maximising energy concentration inside ...

Frequency Support of Window Functions

All window functions, which go from zero amplitude, up, then back to zero amplitude, are all base-band signals. Why is this? Are all functions that have this behavior always band-band aka low-pass?

Why coherence function calculation needs averaging of different segments of the signal?

I am trying to understand coherence function calculation. I am working with a non-linear system without any noise. Coherence function is defined as: I understand that coherence is 1 for N=1, but I ...

Interpolated FIR filter group delay

I'm trying to design a digital low pass filter with a narrow transition band. My sampling rate is 25 kHz, the cut off frequency is 60 Hz & the transition band width is 4 Hz. I'm looking for about ...

Is an FIR filters 'transition width' frequency dependent?

I was recently brushing up on some FIR filter design and was browsing the Wikipedia page. A claim in the article caught my attention: The main disadvantage of FIR filters is that considerably more ...

FFT of signal data with windowing, overlapping and averaging

This is my first ever question here so the help is really appreciated. I am performing FFT on a signal. I want to perform windowing, 50% overlapping and averaging to the signal. There is a function <...
