cupyx.scipy.signal.windows.gaussian#

cupyx.scipy.signal.windows.gaussian(M, std, sym=True)[source]#

Return a Gaussian window.

Parameters:

  • M (int) – Number of points in the output window. If zero or less, an empty array is returned.

  • std (float) – The standard deviation, sigma.

  • sym (bool, optional) – When True (default), generates a symmetric window, for use in filter design. When False, generates a periodic window, for use in spectral analysis.

Returns:

w – The window, with the maximum value normalized to 1 (though the value 1 does not appear if M is even and sym is True).

Return type:

ndarray

Notes

The Gaussian window is defined as

\[w(n) = e^{ -\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{n}{\sigma}\right)^2 }\]

Examples

Plot the window and its frequency response:

>>> import cupyx.scipy.signal.windows
>>> import cupy as cp
>>> from cupy.fft import fft, fftshift
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

>>> window = cupyx.scipy.signal.windows.gaussian(51, std=7)
>>> plt.plot(cupy.asnumpy(window))
>>> plt.title(r"Gaussian window ($\sigma$=7)")
>>> plt.ylabel("Amplitude")
>>> plt.xlabel("Sample")

>>> plt.figure()
>>> A = fft(window, 2048) / (len(window)/2.0)
>>> freq = cupy.linspace(-0.5, 0.5, len(A))
>>> response = 20 * cupy.log10(cupy.abs(fftshift(A / cupy.abs(A).max())))
>>> plt.plot(cupy.asnumpy(freq), cupy.asnumpy(response))
>>> plt.axis([-0.5, 0.5, -120, 0])
>>> plt.title(r"Frequency response of the Gaussian window ($\sigma$=7)")
>>> plt.ylabel("Normalized magnitude [dB]")
>>> plt.xlabel("Normalized frequency [cycles per sample]")
