File:Two 8-point Gaussian window functions.svg

Summary

Description
English: Two different ways to generate Gaussian window functions (σ=0.4) for spectral analysis applications. MATLAB calls them "symmetric" and "periodic". The latter is also called "DFT Even" in the classic Frederic Harris paper.
