The following equation defines the Blackman window of lengthN:
whereMisN/2 whenNis even and (N+ 1)/2 whenNis odd.
In the symmetric case, the second half of the Blackman window,M≤n≤N– 1, is obtained by reflecting the first half around the midpoint. The symmetric option is the preferred method when using a Blackman window in FIR filter design.
The periodic Blackman window is constructed by extending the desired window length by one sample toN+ 1, constructing a symmetric window, and removing the last sample. The periodic version is the preferred method when using a Blackman window in spectral analysis because the discrete Fourier transform assumes periodic extension of the input vector.
