hamming(M, sym=True)

The Hamming window is a taper formed by using a raised cosine with non-zero endpoints, optimized to minimize the nearest side lobe.

Notes

The Hamming window is defined as

$$w(n) = 0.54 - 0.46 \cos\left(\frac{2\pi{n}}{M-1}\right)\qquad 0 \leq n \leq M-1$$

The Hamming was named for R. W. Hamming, an associate of J. W. Tukey and is described in Blackman and Tukey. It was recommended for smoothing the truncated autocovariance function in the time domain. Most references to the Hamming window come from the signal processing literature, where it is used as one of many windowing functions for smoothing values. It is also known as an apodization (which means "removing the foot", i.e. smoothing discontinuities at the beginning and end of the sampled signal) or tapering function.

Parameters

M : int

Number of points in the output window. If zero or less, an empty array is returned.

sym : bool, optional

When True (default), generates a symmetric window, for use in filter design. When False, generates a periodic window, for use in spectral analysis.

Returns

w : ndarray

The window, with the maximum value normalized to 1 (though the value 1 does not appear if M is even and :None:None:`sym` is True).

Return a Hamming window.

Examples

Plot the window and its frequency response:

>>> from scipy import signal
... from scipy.fft import fft, fftshift
... import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
>>> window = signal.windows.hamming(51)
... plt.plot(window)
... plt.title("Hamming window")
... plt.ylabel("Amplitude")
... plt.xlabel("Sample")
>>> plt.figure()
... A = fft(window, 2048) / (len(window)/2.0)
... freq = np.linspace(-0.5, 0.5, len(A))
... response = 20 * np.log10(np.abs(fftshift(A / abs(A).max())))
... plt.plot(freq, response)
... plt.axis([-0.5, 0.5, -120, 0])
... plt.title("Frequency response of the Hamming window")
... plt.ylabel("Normalized magnitude [dB]")
... plt.xlabel("Normalized frequency [cycles per sample]")

Local connectivity graph

Hover to see nodes names; edges to Self not shown, Caped at 50 nodes.

Using a canvas is more power efficient and can get hundred of nodes ; but does not allow hyperlinks; , arrows or text (beyond on hover)

SVG is more flexible but power hungry; and does not scale well to 50 + nodes.

All aboves nodes referred to, (or are referred from) current nodes; Edges from Self to other have been omitted (or all nodes would be connected to the central node "self" which is not useful). Nodes are colored by the library they belong to, and scaled with the number of references pointing them
