# scipy.signal.windows.kaiser_bessel_derived

scipy.signal.windows.kaiser_bessel_derived(M, beta, *, sym=True)

  Return a Kaiser-Bessel derived 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. Note that this window is only defined for an even number of points.

    beta float

      Kaiser window shape parameter.

    sym bool, optional

      This parameter only exists to comply with the interface offered by the other window functions and to be callable by `get_window`. When True (default), generates a symmetric window, for use in filter design.

  Returns:
    w ndarray

      The window, normalized to fulfil the Princen-Bradley condition.

  Notes

  It is designed to be suitable for use with the modified discrete cosine transform (MDCT) and is mainly used in audio signal processing and audio coding.

  New in version 1.9.0.

  Examples

  Plot the Kaiser-Bessel derived window based on the wikipedia reference [2]:

      >>> import numpy as np
      >>> from scipy import signal
      >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
      >>> fig, ax = plt.subplots()
      >>> N = 50
      >>> for alpha in [0.64, 2.55, 7.64, 31.83]:
      ...     ax.plot(signal.windows.kaiser_bessel_derived(2*N, np.pi*alpha),
      ...             label=f"{alpha=}")
      >>> ax.grid(True)
      >>> ax.set_title("Kaiser-Bessel derived window")
      >>> ax.set_ylabel("Amplitude")
      >>> ax.set_xlabel("Sample")
      >>> ax.set_xticks([0, N, 2*N-1])
      >>> ax.set_xticklabels(["0", "N", "2N+1"])
      >>> ax.set_yticks([0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.707, 0.8, 1.0])
      >>> fig.legend(loc="center")
      >>> fig.tight_layout()
      >>> fig.show()
