von Mises Tapering: A Circular Data Windowing
For researchers in spectral analysis, this provides an incremental alternative to existing window functions.
The paper introduces a new taper shape for continuous windowing based on the von Mises circular distribution, compares its spectral properties with classical windows, and suggests it as an alternative for spectral analysis.
Continuous standard windowing is revisited and a new taper shape is introduced, which is based on the normal circular distribution by von Mises. Continuous-time windows are considered and their spectra obtained. A brief comparison with classical window families is performed in terms of their spectral properties. These windows can be used as an alternative in spectral analysis.
