Weighting windows are used for digital filter design or spectrum estimation (e.g. DFT) to increase the quality. In designing FIR-Filter the main role of windowing is to remove non-ideal effects caused by the endless number of filter coefficients (Gibbs phenomenon). Multiplying the coefficients with a window damps the coefficients at the beginning and at the end.
The function outputs a L-point vector for a given kind of window. The parameter "beta" is only needed by the Kaiser window. The types of windows are:
function FIR_window import Window = Modelica_Synchronous.WorkInProgress.Incubate.Types.FIR_Window; input Integer na "Number of points of weighting window vector"; input Modelica_Synchronous.WorkInProgress.Incubate.Types.FIR_Window window = Window.Kaiser "Type of window"; input Real beta = 2.12 "Beta-Parameter for Kaiser-window"; output Real a[na] "Weighting window vector a[na]"; end FIR_window;
