Window Window Effect

BW of Hamming window is aprox twice of
rectangular window of same length

jaj
Hamming Window gives much greater attenuation
outside the passband compare to rectangular
If N is too small ~ pitch period
En will fluctuate very rapidly (Not Good)
If N is too large ~ several times X pitch period
En will change very slowly (Not Good)
N = 100-200 for 10KHz (10-20msec)

Short-Time Energy
Major Significance
En provides basis for distinguishing Voiced and
Unvoiced speech segment
Can be used to locate when speech becomes voiced
sh

or unvoiced
Can be used for distinguishing speech from Silence
Drawback:
Very sensitive to large signal value due to ^2
Solution is Magnitude Function
