Generalized normal window for digital signal processing

The bandwidth and smoothness of windows play an important role in digital signal processing. In applications such as manufacturing process and quality monitoring, to radar target tracking and cellular communications, the design of appropriate windows is one of the crucial steps. In this paper the generalized normal function is introduced as a smooth and configurable window. With the aid of illustrations, the advantage of using this window over conventional windows is discussed.
