- Spectrum and spectral density estimation by the Discrete Fourier transform (DFT), including a comprehensive list of window functions and some new flat-top windows (private access)
- This report (T1400010) tries to give a practical overview about the estimation of power spectra/power spectral densities using the DFT/FFT. One point that is emphasized is the relationship be- tween estimates of power spectra and power spectral densities which is given by the effective noise bandwidth (ENBW). Included is a detailed list of common and useful window func- tions, among them the often neglected flat-top windows. Special highlights are a procedure to test new programs, a table of comprehensive graphs for each window and the introduction of a whole family of new flat-top windows that feature sidelobe suppression levels of up to −248 dB, as compared with −90 dB of the best flat-top windows available until now.
