Kaiser Windowing Technique
the width of the main lobe is inversely proportional to the length of the
filter.

As the length of the filter is increased, the width of the main lobe
becomes narrower and narrower, and the transition band is reduced
considerably.

The attenuation in the side-lobes is, however, independent of the length

and is a function of the type of the window.

Therefore, a proper window function is to be selected in order to achieve

a desired stopband attenuation. A window function with minimum
stopband attenuation has the maximum main lobe width.

Therefore, the length of the filter must be increased considerably to

reduce the main lobe width and to achieve the desired transition band.

Kaiser Windowing Technique

A desirable property of the window function is that the function is of finite

duration in the time domain and that the Fourier transform has maximum
energy in the main lobe or a given peak side lobe amplitude.

The prolate spheroidal functions have this desirable property; however,

these functions are complicated and difficult to compute.

A simple approximation to these functions have been developed by Kaiser in

terms of zeroth order modified Bessel functions of the first kind.

In a Kaiser window, the side lobe level can be controlled with respect to the
main lobe peak by varying a parameter, alfa. The width of the main lobe can
be varied by adjusting the length of the filter. The Kaiser window function is
given by
