# scipy.signal.windows.barthann

scipy.signal.windows.barthann(M, sym=True)

  Return a modified Bartlett-Hann window.

  Parameters:
    M int

      Number of points in the output window. If zero, an empty array is returned. An exception is thrown when it is negative.

    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 ndarray

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

  Examples

  Plot the window and its frequency response:

      >>> import numpy as np
      >>> from scipy import signal
      >>> from scipy.fft import fft, fftshift
      >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

      >>> window = signal.windows.barthann(51)
      >>> plt.plot(window)
      >>> plt.title("Bartlett-Hann window")
      >>> plt.ylabel("Amplitude")
      >>> plt.xlabel("Sample")

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