Editing Kaiser window (section)

==Definition==

The Kaiser window and its Fourier transform are given by''':'''
:<math>
w_0(x) \triangleq \left\{
\begin{array}{ccl}
\tfrac{1}{L}\frac{I_0\left[\pi\alpha \sqrt{1 - \left(2x/L\right)^2}\right]}{I_0[\pi\alpha]},\quad &\left|x\right| \leq L/2\\
0,\quad &\left|x\right| > L/2
\end{array}\right\}
\quad \stackrel{\mathcal{F}}{\Longleftrightarrow}\quad
\frac{\sin\bigg(\sqrt{(\pi L f)^2-(\pi \alpha)^2}\bigg)}
{I_0(\pi \alpha)\cdot \sqrt{(\pi L f)^2-(\pi \alpha)^2}},

where''':'''
* {{math|''I<sub>0</sub>''}} is the zeroth-order [[Modified_Bessel_function#Modified_Bessel_functions:_Iα,_Kα|modified Bessel function]] of the first kind,
* {{mvar|L}} is the window duration, and
* {{math|α}} is a non-negative real number that determines the shape of the window. In the frequency domain, it determines the trade-off between main-lobe width and side lobe level, which is a central decision in window design.
* Sometimes the Kaiser window is parametrized by {{math|β}}, where {{math|β {{=}} πα}}.

For [[digital signal processing]], the function can be sampled symmetrically as''':'''

:<math>w[n] = L\cdot w_0\left(\tfrac{L}{N} (n-N/2)\right) = \frac{I_0\left[\pi\alpha \sqrt{1 - \left(\frac{2n}{N}-1\right)^2}\right]}{I_0[\pi\alpha]},\quad 0 \leq n \leq N,</math>

where the length of the window is <math>N+1,</math> and N can be even or odd.  (see [[Window_function#Examples of window functions|A list of window functions]])

In the Fourier transform, the first null after the main lobe occurs at <math>f = \tfrac{\sqrt{1+\alpha^2}}{L},</math> which is just <math>\sqrt{1+\alpha^2}</math> in units of N ([[Normalized_frequency_(signal_processing)|DFT "bins"]]).  As ''α'' increases, the main lobe increases in width, and the side lobes decrease in amplitude.&nbsp; {{math|α}}&nbsp;=&nbsp;0 corresponds to a rectangular window.  For large {{math|α,}} the shape of the Kaiser window (in both time and frequency domain) tends to a [[Gaussian function|Gaussian]] curve.&nbsp; The Kaiser window is nearly optimal in the sense of its peak's concentration around frequency <math>0.</math><ref name=Oppenheim>
