    Generic weighted sum of cosine terms window

    Parameters

    M : int
        Number of points in the output window
    a : array_like
        Sequence of weighting coefficients. This uses the convention of being
        centered on the origin, so these will typically all be positive
        numbers, not alternating sign.
    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.

    Examples
    --------
    Heinzel describes a flat-top window named "HFT90D" with formula: [2]_

    .. math::  w_j = 1 - 1.942604 \cos(z) + 1.340318 \cos(2z)
               - 0.440811 \cos(3z) + 0.043097 \cos(4z)

    where

    .. math::  z = \frac{2 \pi j}{N}, j = 0...N - 1

    Since this uses the convention of starting at the origin, to reproduce the
    window, we need to convert every other coefficient to a positive number:

    >>> HFT90D = [1, 1.942604, 1.340318, 0.440811, 0.043097]

    The paper states that the highest sidelobe is at -90.2 dB.  Reproduce
    Figure 42 by plotting the window and its frequency response, and confirm
    the sidelobe level in red:

def blackman(M, sym=True):

    Return a Blackman window.

    The Blackman window is a taper formed by using the first three terms of
    a summation of cosines. It was designed to have close to the minimal
    leakage possible.  It is close to optimal, only slightly worse than a
    Kaiser window.

    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

        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 `sym` is True).

    Notes
    -----
    The Blackman window is defined as

    .. math::  w(n) = 0.42 - 0.5 \cos(2\pi n/M) + 0.08 \cos(4\pi n/M)

    The "exact Blackman" window was designed to null out the third and fourth
    sidelobes, but has discontinuities at the boundaries, resulting in a
    6 dB/oct fall-off.  This window is an approximation of the "exact" window,
    which does not null the sidelobes as well, but is smooth at the edges,
    improving the fall-off rate to 18 dB/oct. [3]_

    Most references to the Blackman 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. It is known as a
    "near optimal" tapering function, almost as good (by some measures)
    as the Kaiser window.

def bartlett(M, sym=True):
    r"""
    Return a Bartlett window.

    The Bartlett window is very similar to a triangular window, except
    that the end points are at zero.  It is often used in signal
    processing for tapering a signal, without generating too much
    ripple in the frequency domain.

    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 triangular window, with the first and last samples equal to zero
        and the maximum value normalized to 1 (though the value 1 does not
        appear if `M` is even and `sym` is True).

    See Also
    --------
    triang : A triangular window that does not touch zero at the ends

    Notes
    -----
    The Bartlett window is defined as

    .. math:: w(n) = \frac{2}{M-1} \left(
              \frac{M-1}{2} - \left|n - \frac{M-1}{2}\right|
              \right)

    Most references to the Bartlett window come from the signal
    processing literature, where it is used as one of many windowing
    functions for smoothing values.  Note that convolution with this
    window produces linear interpolation.  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. The Fourier transform of the Bartlett is the product
    of two sinc functions.
    Note the excellent discussion in Kanasewich. [2]_

               \qquad 0 \leq n \leq M-1

    The window was named for Julius von Hann, an Austrian meteorologist. It is
    also known as the Cosine Bell. It is sometimes erroneously referred to as
    the "Hanning" window, from the use of "hann" as a verb in the original
    paper and confusion with the very similar Hamming window.

    Most references to the Hann 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

    M : int
        Number of points in the output window. If zero or less, an empty
        array is returned.
    beta : float
        Shape parameter, determines trade-off between main-lobe width and
        side lobe level. As beta gets large, the window narrows.
    sym : bool, optional

        When False, generates a periodic window, for use in spectral analysis.

    -------
    w : ndarray
        The window, with the maximum value normalized to 1 (though the value 1
        does not appear if `M` is even and `sym` is True).

    Notes
    -----
    The Kaiser window is defined as

    .. math::  w(n) = I_0\left( \beta \sqrt{1-\frac{4n^2}{(M-1)^2}}
               \right)/I_0(\beta)

    with

    .. math:: \quad -\frac{M-1}{2} \leq n \leq \frac{M-1}{2},

    where :math:`I_0` is the modified zeroth-order Bessel function.

    The Kaiser was named for Jim Kaiser, who discovered a simple approximation
    to the DPSS window based on Bessel functions.
    The Kaiser window is a very good approximation to the Digital Prolate
    Spheroidal Sequence, or Slepian window, which is the transform which
    maximizes the energy in the main lobe of the window relative to total
    energy.

    The Kaiser can approximate other windows by varying the beta parameter.
    (Some literature uses alpha = beta/pi.) [4]_

    ====  =======================
    beta  Window shape
    ====  =======================

    5     Similar to a Hamming
    6     Similar to a Hann
    8.6   Similar to a Blackman
    ====  =======================

    A beta value of 14 is probably a good starting point. Note that as beta
    gets large, the window narrows, and so the number of samples needs to be
    large enough to sample the increasingly narrow spike, otherwise NaNs will
    be returned.

    Most references to the Kaiser 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.
    at : float
        Attenuation (in dB).

        When False, generates a periodic window, for use in spectral analysis.

    Returns
    -------
    w : ndarray
        The window, with the maximum value always normalized to 1

    Notes
    -----
    This window optimizes for the narrowest main lobe width for a given order
    `M` and sidelobe equiripple attenuation `at`, using Chebyshev
    polynomials.  It was originally developed by Dolph to optimize the
    directionality of radio antenna arrays.

    Unlike most windows, the Dolph-Chebyshev is defined in terms of its
    frequency response:

    .. math:: W(k) = \frac
              {\cos\{M \cos^{-1}[\beta \cos(\frac{\pi k}{M})]\}}
              {\cosh[M \cosh^{-1}(\beta)]}

    where

    .. math:: \beta = \cosh \left [\frac{1}{M}
              \cosh^{-1}(10^\frac{A}{20}) \right ]

    and 0 <= abs(k) <= M-1. A is the attenuation in decibels (`at`).

    The time domain window is then generated using the IFFT, so
    power-of-two `M` are the fastest to generate, and prime number `M` are
    the slowest.

    The equiripple condition in the frequency domain creates impulses in the
    time domain, which appear at the ends of the window.

    density estimation (see [1]_). The first window in the sequence can be
    used to maximize the energy concentration in the main lobe, and is also
    called the Slepian window.

    Parameters
    ----------
    M : int
        Window length.
    NW : float
        Standardized half bandwidth corresponding to ``2*NW = BW/f0 = BW*N*dt``
        where ``dt`` is taken as 1.
    Kmax : int | None, optional
        Number of DPSS windows to return (orders ``0`` through ``Kmax-1``).
        If None (default), return only a single window of shape ``(M,)``
        instead of an array of windows of shape ``(Kmax, M)``.
    sym : bool, optional
        When True (default), generates a symmetric window, for use in filter

        When False, generates a periodic window, for use in spectral analysis.
    norm : {2, 'approximate', 'subsample'} | None, optional
        If 'approximate' or 'subsample', then the windows are normalized by the
        maximum, and a correction scale-factor for even-length windows
        is applied either using ``M**2/(M**2+NW)`` ("approximate") or
        a FFT-based subsample shift ("subsample"), see Notes for details.
        If None, then "approximate" is used when ``Kmax=None`` and 2 otherwise
        (which uses the l2 norm).
    return_ratios : bool, optional
        If True, also return the concentration ratios in addition to the
        windows.

    Returns
    -------
    v : ndarray, shape (Kmax, N) or (N,)
        The DPSS windows. Will be 1D if `Kmax` is None.
    r : ndarray, shape (Kmax,) or float, optional
        The concentration ratios for the windows. Only returned if
        `return_ratios` evaluates to True. Will be 0D if `Kmax` is None.

    Notes
    -----
    This computation uses the tridiagonal eigenvector formulation given
    in [2]_.

    The default normalization for ``Kmax=None``, i.e. window-generation mode,
    simply using the l-infinity norm would create a window with two unity
    values, which creates slight normalization differences between even and odd
    orders. The approximate correction of ``M**2/float(M**2+NW)`` for even
    sample numbers is used to counteract this effect (see Examples below).

    For very long signals (e.g., 1e6 elements), it can be useful to compute
    windows orders of magnitude shorter and use interpolation (e.g.,
    `scipy.interpolate.interp1d`) to obtain tapers of length `M`,
    but this in general will not preserve orthogonality between the tapers.

    Examples
    --------
    We can compare the window to `kaiser`, which was invented as an alternative
    that was easier to calculate [3]_ (example adapted from
    `here <https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jos/sasp/Kaiser_DPSS_Windows_Compared.html>`_):

    >>> import numpy as np
    >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
    >>> from scipy.signal import windows, freqz
    >>> N = 51
    >>> fig, axes = plt.subplots(3, 2, figsize=(5, 7))
    >>> for ai, alpha in enumerate((1, 3, 5)):
    ...     win_dpss = windows.dpss(N, alpha)
    ...     beta = alpha*np.pi
    ...     win_kaiser = windows.kaiser(N, beta)
    ...     for win, c in ((win_dpss, 'k'), (win_kaiser, 'r')):
    ...         win /= win.sum()
    ...         axes[ai, 0].plot(win, color=c, lw=1.)
    ...         axes[ai, 0].set(xlim=[0, N-1], title=r'$\\alpha$ = %s' % alpha,
    ...                         ylabel='Amplitude')
    ...         w, h = freqz(win)
    ...         axes[ai, 1].plot(w, 20 * np.log10(np.abs(h)), color=c, lw=1.)
    ...         axes[ai, 1].set(xlim=[0, np.pi],
    ...                         title=r'$\\beta$ = %0.2f' % beta,
    ...                         ylabel='Magnitude (dB)')
    >>> for ax in axes.ravel():
    ...     ax.grid(True)
    >>> axes[2, 1].legend(['DPSS', 'Kaiser'])
    >>> fig.tight_layout()
    >>> plt.show()

    And here are examples of the first four windows, along with their
    concentration ratios:

    >>> M = 512
    >>> NW = 2.5
    >>> win, eigvals = windows.dpss(M, NW, 4, return_ratios=True)
    >>> fig, ax = plt.subplots(1)
    >>> ax.plot(win.T, linewidth=1.)
    >>> ax.set(xlim=[0, M-1], ylim=[-0.1, 0.1], xlabel='Samples',
    ...        title='DPSS, M=%d, NW=%0.1f' % (M, NW))
    >>> ax.legend(['win[%d] (%0.4f)' % (ii, ratio)
    ...            for ii, ratio in enumerate(eigvals)])
    >>> fig.tight_layout()
    >>> plt.show()

    Using a standard :math:`l_{\\infty}` norm would produce two unity values
    for even `M`, but only one unity value for odd `M`. This produces uneven
    window power that can be counteracted by the approximate correction
    ``M**2/float(M**2+NW)``, which can be selected by using
    ``norm='approximate'`` (which is the same as ``norm=None`` when
    ``Kmax=None``, as is the case here). Alternatively, the slower
    ``norm='subsample'`` can be used, which uses subsample shifting in the
    frequency domain (FFT) to compute the correction:

    >>> Ms = np.arange(1, 41)
    >>> factors = (50, 20, 10, 5, 2.0001)
    >>> energy = np.empty((3, len(Ms), len(factors)))
    >>> for mi, M in enumerate(Ms):
    ...     for fi, factor in enumerate(factors):
    ...         NW = M / float(factor)
    ...         # Corrected using empirical approximation (default)
    ...         win = windows.dpss(M, NW)
    ...         energy[0, mi, fi] = np.sum(win ** 2) / np.sqrt(M)
    ...         # Corrected using subsample shifting
    ...         win = windows.dpss(M, NW, norm='subsample')
    ...         energy[1, mi, fi] = np.sum(win ** 2) / np.sqrt(M)
    ...         # Uncorrected (using l-infinity norm)
    ...         win /= win.max()
    ...         energy[2, mi, fi] = np.sum(win ** 2) / np.sqrt(M)
    >>> fig, ax = plt.subplots(1)
    >>> hs = ax.plot(Ms, energy[2], '-o', markersize=4,
    ...              markeredgecolor='none')
    >>> leg = [hs[-1]]
    >>> for hi, hh in enumerate(hs):
    ...     h1 = ax.plot(Ms, energy[0, :, hi], '-o', markersize=4,
    ...                  color=hh.get_color(), markeredgecolor='none',
    ...                  alpha=0.66)

    ...                  color=hh.get_color(), markeredgecolor='none',
    ...                  alpha=0.33)
    ...     if hi == len(hs) - 1:
    ...         leg.insert(0, h1[0])
    ...         leg.insert(0, h2[0])
    >>> ax.set(xlabel='M (samples)', ylabel=r'Power / $\\sqrt{M}$')
    >>> ax.legend(leg, ['Uncorrected', r'Corrected: $\\frac{M^2}{M^2+NW}$',
    ...                 'Corrected (subsample)'])

    Return a window of a given length and type.

    Parameters
    ----------
    window : string, float, or tuple
        The type of window to create. See below for more details.
    Nx : int
        The number of samples in the window.
    fftbins : bool, optional
        If True (default), create a "periodic" window, ready to use with
        `ifftshift` and be multiplied by the result of an FFT (see also
        :func:`~scipy.fft.fftfreq`).
        If False, create a "symmetric" window, for use in filter design.

    Returns
    -------
    get_window : ndarray
        Returns a window of length `Nx` and type `window`

    Notes
    -----
    Window types:

    - `~scipy.signal.windows.boxcar`
    - `~scipy.signal.windows.triang`
    - `~scipy.signal.windows.blackman`
    - `~scipy.signal.windows.hamming`
    - `~scipy.signal.windows.hann`
    - `~scipy.signal.windows.bartlett`
    - `~scipy.signal.windows.flattop`
    - `~scipy.signal.windows.parzen`
    - `~scipy.signal.windows.bohman`
    - `~scipy.signal.windows.blackmanharris`
    - `~scipy.signal.windows.nuttall`
    - `~scipy.signal.windows.barthann`
    - `~scipy.signal.windows.kaiser` (needs beta)
    - `~scipy.signal.windows.gaussian` (needs standard deviation)
    - `~scipy.signal.windows.general_gaussian` (needs power, width)
    - `~scipy.signal.windows.slepian` (needs width)
    - `~scipy.signal.windows.dpss` (needs normalized half-bandwidth)
    - `~scipy.signal.windows.chebwin` (needs attenuation)
    - `~scipy.signal.windows.exponential` (needs decay scale)
    - `~scipy.signal.windows.tukey` (needs taper fraction)

    If the window requires no parameters, then `window` can be a string.

    If the window requires parameters, then `window` must be a tuple
    with the first argument the string name of the window, and the next
    arguments the needed parameters.

    If `window` is a floating point number, it is interpreted as the beta
    parameter of the `~scipy.signal.windows.kaiser` window.

    Each of the window types listed above is also the name of
    a function that can be called directly to create a window of
    that type.
