Window Description

Test Content

Rectangular Best frequency resolution,

worst magnitude resolution.
This is essentially the same
as no window.

Symmetric transients or bursts.
Equal-amplitude sine waves with
fixed frequencies. Broadband
random noise with a relatively
slowly varying spectrum.

Hanning

Better frequency, worse
magnitude accuracy than
Rectangular.

Sine, periodic, and narrow-band
random noise. Asymmetric
transients or bursts.

Hamming

Better frequency, worse
magnitude accuracy than
Rectangular. Hamming has
slightly better frequency

Sine, periodic, and narrow-band
