Abstract
Based on the harmonic analysis method, discrete spheroidal wave functions are used to achieve a very high spectral resolution. For an N samples vector of the measured signal, the classical Fourier transform discrimination capability is 1/N , while in the method proposed, for the same number of samples, the discrimination capability might attain the value of 2/P , with P as the dimension of the FFT. Additional comparative study of other classical windows (rectangular, Hamming, and Tseng) is made
