Rational polynomial windows

Abstract: In the paper the idea of rational polynomial windows optimised towards low level of Fourier spectrum’s sidelobes is presented. A relevant advantage of the poly-nomial windows family and their modifications is their ability to easily change their properties changing only the values of the polynomial coefficients. The obtained frequency characteristics demonstrate better properties of proposed rational windows than their standard polynomial equivalents requiring only the additional division opera-tion. Such approach does not increase the computational complexity in significant way and the great advantage of polynomial windows which is their low computational complexity is preserved.
