select from the list. See Using Windows to Filter on
page 3--214 for a description of the available FFT
windows.
H Rectangular. Best type of window for resolving
frequencies that are very cl ose to the same value.
Best type for measuring the frequency spectrum of
nonrepetit ive signals and measuring frequency
components near DC.
H Hamming, Hanning, Blackman-Harris,
Kaiser-Bessel, and Flattop2 . These window are
based on cosine series. Each has a different RBW
and spectral leakage characteristics. Use the
window which best highlights the features you want
to observe in the spectrum.
H Gaussian. Best localization in both time and
frequency.
H Tek Exponential. Best for impulse testing. It sets
the zero-phase reference to the 20% position in the
time record allowing the test to use more of the
instrument record length.
The bullet Choice of a window, on page 3--216, provides
in depth information on choosing the right window for
your applicat ion.
