Determine the spherical-harmonic bandwidth that is necessary to achieve a certain concentration factor.
lwin
= SHFindLWin (theta0
, m
, alpha
, [taper_number
])
lwin
: integer
: The spherical harmonic bandwidth
theta0
: float
: The angular radius of the spherical cap in radians.
m
: integer
: The angular order of the taper.
alpha
: float
: The desired concentration factor of the window. This must lie between 0 and 1.
taper_number
: optional, integer, default = 1
: The taper number corresponding to the angular order m
. The default is to use the first taper.
SHFindLWin
will determine the spherical harmonic bandwidth that is required for a window of the spherical-cap concentration problem to achive a certain concentration factor. By default, the first taper corresponding to the angular order m
will be used, but this can be modified by specifying the optional argument taper_number
.
