How does windowing reduce spectral leakage?
Spectral leakage is caused by discontinuities in the original, noninteger number of periods in a signal and can be improved using windowing. Windowing reduces the amplitude of the discontinuities at the boundaries of each finite sequence acquired by the digitizer.
How do you reduce spectral leakage?
We have seen that spectral leakage is reduced by tapering the digital signal by a window function before the DFT takes place. A generalization of this technique is the short-time discrete Fourier transform (STDFT).
What is windowing in DFT?
Lecture 5 - DFT & Windowing. Page 1. In this lecture, I will be examining the impact of extracting a portion of a signal and find the spectrum of this extracted portion instead of the signal. This process of taking a portion of signal is known as “windowing”.
Which windowing technique is best?
The Hamming window is preferred by many due to its relatively narrow main lobe width and good attenuation of the first few side lobes.
