scipy.signal.windows.

get_window#

scipy.signal.windows.get_window(window, Nx, fftbins=True)[source]#

Return a window of a given length and type.

Parameters:
windowstring, float, or tuple

The type of window to create. See below for more details.

Nxint

The number of samples in the window.

fftbinsbool, optional

If True (default), create a “periodic” window, ready to use with ifftshift and be multiplied by the result of an FFT (see also fftfreq). If False, create a “symmetric” window, for use in filter design.

Returns:
get_windowndarray

Returns a window of length Nx and type window

Notes

Window types:

If the window requires no parameters, then window can be a string.

If the window requires parameters, then window must be a tuple with the first argument the string name of the window, and the next arguments the needed parameters.

If window is a floating point number, it is interpreted as the beta parameter of the kaiser window.

Each of the window types listed above is also the name of a function that can be called directly to create a window of that type.
