The finite impulse response (FIR) filter designed using window method is a very popular, simpler and well working for various applications. This paper presents various window functions for designing FIR low pass filters and their comparative performance is given. Performance of windows are analyzed in both time and frequency domains. In term of main lobe-width, the Kaiser window is the most supercilious among other windows. On the other hand, the Dolph-Chebyshev shows better response in stop-band attenuation. Hamming window achieves the response in between Kaiser and Dolph-Chebyshev windows. In terms of frequency selectivity Hanning plays better role than the others.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
