kaiser

Purpose

Kaiser window.

Syntax

Description

w = kaiser(n,beta) returns an n-point Kaiser ( - sinh) window in the column vector w. beta is the Kaiser window parameter that affects the sidelobe attenuation of the Fourier transform of the window.

To obtain a Kaiser window that designs an FIR filter with sidelobe height - dB, use the following :

Increasing beta widens the mainlobe and decreases the amplitude of the sidelobes (increases the attenuation).
