Integer and a half periods of sine wave in DFT window
Why does a pure sine wave starting and ending at 0 in the sample window of a DFT but containing 1.5 cycles (or periods) produce the same spectral leakage (i.e. not more) as a pure sine wave with ...

Bandpass Filter Order vs Sample Numbers of Noisy Signal
I'm working on signal filtering in MATLAB. i wrote sample code that generate 50 Hz signal with some noisy frequency and use Kaiser bandpass filter to get only 50Hz frequency. this code work great! but ...

What is the LOW frequency resolution rule analogous to Nyquist?
If I'm analyzing a signal in the frequency domain, I know about the well known Nyquist criteria that the sample frequency must be > 2x of the highest component present in the signal.
However, there ...

finding the fundamental frequency in frequency domain
I want to get the fundamental frequency of a signal. I used a time domain approach first. It just sums up the differences between the signal (lets say 2048 samples) and the delayed version of the same ...

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 ...

Why does the Hamming window attenuate the FFT?
I am working on a very simple voice recognition system using the msp430. In my research I've read that for real life audio signals its necessary to apply a window to the FFT data because the audio ...

Non-separable, higher-order generalized cosine windows in 2D for images
Higher-order generalized cosine windows define a useful parametric family of windows functions, embedding Hamming, Hann, Blackman, Nutall, etc.:
$$w(n) = \sum_{k = 0}^{K} a_k\; \cos\left( \frac{2 \pi ...

How is the ends of a bandpass filtered signal reliable after applying the cosine taper?
A taper function decaying to zero at ends such as a cosine window is routinely applied to the signal before bandpass filtering to reduce end effects. Obviously the window alters the waveform.
So, as ...
