Fractional Fourier Transform FrFT is a arameterized transform having an adjustable transform arameter which makes it more flexible and suerior over ordinary Fourier transform in several alications. It is an imortant tool used in signal rocessing for sectral analysis. The analysis of generalized Triangular and Welch window functions in fractional Fourier domain establishes a direct relationshi between their FrFTs and fractional angle. Based on the mathematical model obtained, it is observed that adjustable sectral arameters of these functions can be obtained by modifying the fractional angle.

Ključne riječi: Frakcijska Fourierova transformacija, ooćena trokutasta funkcija, sektralna analiza, Welchov rozor, rozorska funkcija 1 INTRODUCTION Windows are weighting functions that attenuate signals at their discontinuities. The window functions are alied to the time-domain signals and the rocess of multilying the signal with the smoothly ending window function is called windowing technique. Windowing is done to make an infinitely long function finite in length so that frequency content of a signal of interest can be measured. As a result of this, the truncated signal exhibits different sectral characteristics from the original continuous-time signal. domain characteristics of several window functions are analyzed to determine their suitability for a secific alication and to reduce the sectral leakage that results because of selecting a finite time interval signal. Window functions are real, non-zero and time limited functions. They eak in the middle frequencies and decrease to zero at the edges in order to reduce the effects of the discontinuities that results because of finite duration. They are frequently used in various areas of signal rocessing and communications such as seech rocessing, digital filter design, and sectrum estimation. No existing window function is best in all asects [16]. Thus, it is needed to select an aroriate window function according to the requirement of a articular alication on the basis of the erformance features [4], such as the attenuation at the maximum height of a side lobe, generally the first side-lobe the side-lobe level, the rate at which eak of the side-lobes decrease in magnitude side- AUTOMATIKA ,

2 lobe fall-off rate and the main-lobe width of width of main-lobe at -3dB below main-lobe eak. The narrower the main-lobe width, the better will be the frequency resolution; and the lower the side lobe level, the better will be the amlitude accuracy or noise suression. The narrow main-lobe width and reduced side-lobe level are conflicting requirements. When the main lobe width decreases, the remaining energy sreads out to side-lobes thereby increasing sectral leakage. Thus, the roblem lies in deciding which window function is the best to aly on the signal being studied in order to estimate the sectral characteristics of a finite duration signal. There are numerous standard window functions that can be chosen for the revention of sectral leakage in the signal and to rovide the secified side-lobe level [7, 1]. But the reduction of side-lobe leakage due to the alied window function introduces leakage from the exansion of main-lobe in ordinary frequency domain. This reduces sectral resolution and also some gain is lost because of main-lobe sreading. Thus, we need to increase the length of the selected window function to imrove sectral resolution. Alying fractional Fourier transform to the window function, one can imrove sectral resolution with no need of changing the length of the window function [9, 15]. Therefore, comutational time and design time can be saved. This aer resents a new mathematical model for obtaining the FrFT of generalized Triangular and Welch window functions. Based on which, it is found that these functions can be used as an adjustable windows in fractional Fourier domain for doing the signal sectral analysis. By changing the value of fractional order arameter, the sectral arameters such as Half Main-Lobe Width HMLW, Maximum Side-Lobe Level MSLL and Side- Lobe Fall-Off Rate SLFOR of the resulting windows can be controlled. Therefore, trade-off roblem between the frequency resolution and sectral leakage can be easily solved. The variations in sectral arameters of these window functions are studied for different values of fractional order arameter. A lot of sectrum of Welch window function is shown below in Fig. 1 to define these sectral arameters. 1. Half Main-Lobe Width HMLW: It is the frequency at which the Main lobe dros to the eak rile value of the side lobes. 2. Maximum Side-Lobe Level MSLL: It is the largest side lobe level in decibels relative to the main lobe eak gain. 3. Side-Lobe Fall-Off Rate SLFOR: It is the asymtotic decay rate of side-lobe level in decibels er db Gain MSLL HMLW SLFOR Fig. 1. Resonse Log Magnitude Plot of Welch window to define sectral arameters decade/octave of frequency of the eaks of the side lobes. It is roosed in the work that by adjusting fractional order arameter to different values, main-lobe width can be minimized and side-lobe fall-off rate can be raised to maximum. Thus, a choice can be made between detection and resolution. Detection means detecting a desired signal in the resence of noise. Resolution refers to the ability of distinguishing narrowband sectral comonents. 2 FRACTIONAL FOURIER TRANSFORM FrFT is the generalization of ordinary Fourier transform FT that deends on a arameter α and can be interreted as a rotation by an angle α in the time-frequency lane [2, 11, 12]. It is reresented by R α and α=aπ/2, where α is the angle of rotation and a is the fractional order arameter. The time domain and frequency domain are the secial cases of the FrFT domain with α being 2nπ and 2nπ + π/2, resectively, where n is an integer. It can also be viewed as a fractional ower of the Fourier oerator. It is more affluent in theory, more stretchy in alications, and imlementation cost is same as that of comuting FT [13, 14]. The continuous fractional Fourier transform CFrFT [2, 12] of a signal xt reresented along time axis denoted by t, with rotation angle α is comuted as: F α [xt] = X α u = xtk α t, udt, 1 where the transform kernel K α t, u of the FrFT is given 222 AUTOMATIKA ,

The Fourier transform is a secial case of FrFT for α = π 2. The FrFT is a unified time-frequency transform, which reveals the characteristics of a signal gradually changing from time domain to frequency domain with the fractional order α changing from to 1. Fractional Fourier Transform FrFT is a arameterized transform with an adjustable transform arameter. It has an extra degree of freedom and can achieve better erformance over ordinary Fourier transform. FrFT has become a very efficient mathematical tool in the various alications like harmonic analysis, signal synthesis, time-frequency analysis, digital watermarking, image encrytion, modulation and multilexing in communications, etc. FrFT holds all the roerties of Fourier transform and therefore, has tremendous otential for imrovement in areas where FT has been used [3, 5, 8]. The develoment of fast algorithms for comutation of FrFT has made alication of FrFT functional in real-time digital signal rocessing. 3 DERIVATION OF FRFT OF GENERALIZED TRIANGULAR FUNCTION The generalized Triangular function denoted by xt for any scaling arameter L, is defined as: 1 t L t L xt = 1 + t L L t. 4 otherwise For arameter value, L = 1, xt is equivalent to Triangular window. The FrFT X α u of generalized Triangular function xt is comuted as follows: Substituting xt in 1 results: X α u = C α ex ju 2 L 1 t L 1 + t L ex jt 2 jqut dt+ ex jt 2 jqut dt. 5 Changing t by t in the first integral, gives: X α u = C α ex ju 2 1 t L where 1 t L Equation 6 can be rewritten as: ex jt 2 + jqut dt+ ex jt 2 jqut dt. 6 X α u = C α ex ju 2 I 1 + I 2, 7 I 1 = I 2 = 1 t L exjt2 + jqutdt, 8 1 t L exjt2 jqutdt. 9 Solving for I 1 searately, the integral can be written as: I 1 = 1 exjt 2 + jqutdt }{{} I 11 1 t ex jt 2 + jqut dt L }{{} I 12 1 Now, first solving for I 12 = t exjt2 + jqutdt, the integral can be rewritten as: I 12 = 1 or I 12 = 1 = 1 1 qu 2 t + jqu jqu exjt 2 + jqutdt, t + jqu exjt 2 + jqutdt jqu exjt 2 + jqutdt d dt {exjt2 + jqut} exjt 2 + jqutdt.

By using 11c and 12, solving for 1, one gets: π I 1 = 2 j Erfi 1 L 1 + qu 2L ex jq 2 u 2 [ ] [ ] j qu + 2L j 2 qu Erfi ex jl 2 + jqul By using Erf iz = jerfjz and simlifying 13, one gets: j jq 2 u 2 { I 1 = ex 2L3/2 π 2L + qu [ ] [ 3/2 qu + 2L Erf j 2 + Erf j 3/2 qu ] + jq 2 u 2 2 j qu + 2L } j ex ex. 14 Similarly I 2 can be comuted by relacing qu by qu in equation 14, i.e., j jq 2 u 2 { I 2 = ex 2L3/2 π 2L qu [ ] [ 3/2 qu + 2L Erf j 2 + Erf j 3/2 qu ] + jq 2 u 2 2 j qu + 2L } j ex ex. 15 Solving for equation 7 by using 3, 14 and 15, one gets: 2 exju 2 csc 2α jcot αl+csc αu2 B ex 2 cot α + jcot αl csc αu2 ex 2 cot α X α u = A Erf[ 3/4 csc αu], C 3/4 cot αl+csc αu + Erf[ 2 cot α ] Erf[ 3/4 csc αu] D 3/4 cot αl csc αu Erf[ 2 cot α ] where A = 1 j cot α π cot 3 α 1 L j 4 16 ex ju2 tan α, 17 2 B = 2 2j cot α, 18 C = cot αl + csc αu 2π, 19 D = cot αl csc αu 2π. 2 From equation 16 to 2, it can be seen that FrFT of generalized Triangular function is directly deendent on the fractional angle α. 4 DERIVATION OF FRFT OF WELCH WINDOW The Welch window function denoted by xt, is defined as: { } 1 t 2 1 t 1 xt = 21 elsewhere The FrFT X α u of Welch window is comuted as follows: Substituting xt in 1 results: X α u = C α ex ju t 2 ex jt 2 jqut dt. Equation 22 can be rewritten as: X α u = C α ex ju 2 ex jt 2 jqut dt }{{} I 3 t 2 ex jt 2 jqut dt I First solving for I 4 searately, the integral can be written as: I 4 = t ex jqut t exjt 2 dt. 24 }{{}}{{} u dv 224 AUTOMATIKA ,

Now, solving equation 24 via integrating by arts, one gets: I 4 = t exjt2 jqut jqut 1 exjt 2 jqutdt I 5 = 1 1 ex j jqu + ex j + jqu + I Similarly solving for I 5, the integral can be written as: I 5 = jqu t exjt 2 jqutdt }{{} I 6 exjt 2 jqutdt. 26 I 3 Solving 26 for I 6 in a similar manner as solving for I 12 using 11a: I 6 = 1 exjt 2 jqut 1 + qu 2 exjt 2 jqutdt I 3 = 1 qu ex j jqu ex j + jqu + 2 I By using 26 and 27, solving for I 5, one gets: I 5 = qu ex j jqu ex j + jqu 2 jq 2 u I By using 25 and 28, solving fori 4, one gets: I 4 = 1 ex j jqu + ex j + jqu + qu ex j jqu ex j + jqu 4j2 + 1 jq 2 u 2 1 I Now, solving the integral exjt2 jqutdt the following exression results [1]: I 3 = π jq 2 2 j ex u 2 [ ] j qu + 2 Erfi [ ] j qu Erfi 2. 3 By using 29 and 3, solving for 22 and rearranging, one gets: { exju 2 jq 2 u 2 / X α u = C α ex [ j jqu 8j 3/2 5/2 + jq 2 u 2 / ] j [ 2qu + 2qu ex 2jqu ex 2jqu ] + π4j 2 jq 2 u 2 [ ] j qu Erfi [ ] } j qu Erfi Putting values of C α, and q using 3 in 31 and simlifying, one gets: X α u = A 1 { ex j 2 cot αu 12 [ 2u csc α + 2u csc α ex2ju csc α 2 cot α 2 cot α ex2ju csc α ] [ ] + B 1 Erf 3/4 cot α u csc α 2 cot α [ ] } + Erfi 3/4 cot α + u csc α, 2 cot α 32 where A 1 = 1 1 j cot α 4j 3/2 π cot 3 α, 33 B 1 = π 2j cot 2 α + ju 2 csc 2 α cot α. 34 From equation 32 to 34, it can be seen that FrFT of Welch window function is directly deendent on the fractional angle α. 5 RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS The lot of Triangular function for.5 t.5 is shown in Fig. 2.

Figure 4 shows the lot for calculating MSLL for generalized Triangular function by varying scaling arameter L to different values keeing fractional order a =.5. Figures 5 illustrate the lot for calculating MSLL for Triangular function by varying fractional order arameter to different values keeing scaling arameter L =.5. Figure 7 shows the MSLL lot for Welch window for different values of fractional order. The lots for calculating SLFOR for these functions are also shown in Fig. 6 and 8. The continuum of fractional Fourier transform of Triangular and Welch window functions to sinc as the fractional order is varied from to 1 are also shown in Fig. 9 and Fig. 1 resectively. The values of MSLL, HMLW and SLFOR for Triangular function scaling arameter L =.5 and Welch window function are tabulated in Table 1 and Table 2 resectively for various values of fractional order arameter a. It is observed from the Figs. and Tables that sectral arameters of Triangular function and Welch window deend uon the value of fractional order arameter a in time-frequency lane. Main-lobe width of both the func Fig. 4. MSLL lot for generalized Triangular function fractional order a =.5 for values of scaling arameter L =.5,.7 and For a =.2 For a =.5 For a = Fig. 5.

SLFOR for Triangular function shows variation between -8.9 db/octave to -11 db/octave with change in order arameter a. MSLL is also reduced with increase in fractional order a, e.g. MSLL for a =.7 is 25.8 db comared to is db for a = 1. If the value of arameter L is taken to be equal to 1, Fig. 11 shows the sectral arameters of triangular window at fractional order a = 1. From Table 2, the SLFOR for Welch window shows variation between -7.8 db/octave to db/octave with change in order arameter a. MSLL is reduced with increase in fractional order a, e.g. MSLL for a =.7 is 226 AUTOMATIKA ,

MSLL lot for Welch window for fractional orders a =.2,.5 and db comared to is db for a = 1. Thus, an otimal domain can be selected in order to make a comromise between increase in main-lobe width and side-lobe level reduction. 6 APPLICATION OF FRFT IN TUNING WIDTH OF THE TRANSITION-BAND The transition bandwidth of window-based FIR filters is roortional to the window main-lobe width, which in turn is inversely roortional to the length of the window function [15]. The transition width can be directly reduced by increasing the window length but at the cost of increased comutations. This aer resents an alternate Fig. 8.

A triangular window based low-ass FIR filter with cut-off frequency =.5π and length N = 64 is simulated. The above Fig. 12 shows the variability in frequency resonse of the filter with change in value of fractional order arameter. As the fractional order a is reduced from 1 to, the transition width of window based FIR filter can be made narrow. 7 CONCLUSION The mathematical analysis for obtaining the fractional Fourier transform of Triangular function and Welch win- 5 AUTOMATIKA ,

Characteristics of Welch window for different values of fractional order arameter a Fractional Order α MSLL db HMLW SLFOR db/octave dow is resented in the aer. The different sectral arameters of these window functions are obtained by changing fractional order to different values. A good window can achieve low side-lobe levels with minimum increase in Fig. 12. The magnitude resonse of Triangular window based low-ass FIR filter for fractional order a =.5,.45 & 1 main-lobe width. For Triangular and Welch window function, the side-lobe reduces but at the exense of HMLW. The analysis reveals that as the fractional order is reduced, main-lobe width can be minimized and SLFOR can be raised to maximum. Thus, it can be concluded that FrFT of Triangular function and Welch window varies directly with the change in fractional angle a. The new derived model for FrFT of these functions clearly shows that and a tradeoff can be made between increase in main-lobe width and reduced side-lobe level which best suites the desired alication. Triangular function and Welch window can be used as adjustable windows in the fractional Fourier domain for estimating the sectrum of a signal so that a choice can be made between amlitude accuracy and sectral resolution. 228 AUTOMATIKA ,
