Selecting an FFT Window
Windows reduce spectral leakage in the FFT spectrum. The FFT
assumes that the YT wave form re peats forever. Wi th an integral
number of cycles (1, 2, 3, ...), the YT waveform starts and ends at the
same amplitude and there are no discontinuities in the signal shape.
A non-integral number of cycles in the YT waveform causes the
signal start and end points to be at different amplitudes. The
transitions between the start and end points cause discontinuities in
the signal that introduce high-freque ncy transients.
