Hanning self-convolution window and its application to harmonic analysis

Abstract

The Hanning self-convolution window (HSCW) is proposed in this paper. And the phase difference correction algorithm based on the discrete spectrum and the HSCW is given. The HSCW has a low peak side lobe level, a high side lobe roll-off rate, and a simple spectrum representation. Hence, leakage errors and harmonic interferences can be considerably reduced by weighting samples with the HSCW, the parameter estimation by the HSCW-based phase difference correction algorithm is free of solving high order equations, and the overall method can be easily implemented in embedded systems. Simulation and application results show that the HSCW-based phase difference correction algorithm can suppress the impacts of fundamental frequency fluctuation and white noise on harmonic parameter estimation, and the HSCW is advantageous over existing combined cosine windows in terms of harmonic analysis performance.
