Some windows with very good sidelobe behavior

Abstract

Some of the windows presented by Harris [1] are not correct in terms of their reported peak sidelobes and optimal behavior. We present corrected plots of Harris' windows and also derive additional windows with very good sidelobes and optimal behavior under several different constraints. The temporal weightings are characterized as a sum of weighted cosines over a finite duration. The plots enable the reader to select a window to suit his requirements, in terms of bias due to nearby sidelobes and bias due to distant sidelobes.
