Summary edit

Description
English: We illustrate two different ways to generate Hann window functions for spectral analysis applications. MATLAB calls them "symmetric" and "periodic". The latter is also called "DFT Even" in the classic Frederic Harris paper.

 M=5600;        % big number, divisible by 7 and 8
% Generate M+1 samples of a Hann window
 window = hann(M+1);
 N=8;           % actual window size, in "hops"

% Sample the window.
% Scale the abscissa. 0:M samples --> 0:7 "hops", and take 8 symmetrical hops, from 0 to 7
 sam_per_hop_7 = M/7;
 symmetric = window(1+(0:7)*sam_per_hop_7);

% Scale the abscissa. 0:M samples --> 0:8 "hops", and take 8 asymmetrical hops, from 0 to 7
 sam_per_hop_8 = M/8;
 periodic = window(1+(0:7)*sam_per_hop_8);

% Compare equivalent noise bandwidths (info only)
 ENBW_symmetric = N*sum(symmetric.^2)/sum(symmetric)^2                            % 
 ENBW_periodic  = N*sum(periodic.^2) /sum(periodic)^2                             % 

%Replace above with the equivalent formulaic versions
%This step just proves that formulas match window() array.
 symmetric = .5*(1-cos(2*pi*(0:7)/7));
 periodic  = .5*(1-cos(2*pi*(0:7)/8));     % aka "DFT Even"

%Compare equivalent noise bandwidths (info only)
