I am neophyte [ perhaps read ignorant ;]

I've been told that a poorly chosen window can cause problems .}

For my application the ratio of "maximumly flat" to transition region is
> 1000:1.

What should I be considering?
where should I be looking?

Thanks
[PS this group has made a start on teaching me to *explicitly* say THANK
YOU. ]

therefore DANKE

Hi Richard! I'm afraid I don't know much about filters so I'm not going to
be much help (so I've snipped the Dankje ) - you might get a quicker
response from someone who knows what he/she is talking about if you tell
him/her what you mean by transition region though.

Best of luck - Mike

a supposedly "perfect" filter would be a "brickwall"
infinite attenuation below f1 and over f2, otherwise none

the Fourier transform to time domain has nasty repercussions
the inverse is also true ;]

To the experts -- I know that was a lousy/lossy response.
Is it correct as far as I went?

I dunno - but I've just realised I read your "maximumly flat" as "maximally
flat", now I really haven't got a clue what you mean so I'll just shut up.

Best of Luck - Mike

Not to worry, probably makes at least two of us ;]

We'll wait for Avins &/or Lyons to translate Owl to Normal ;]
