Signal processing of microwave imaging brain tumor detection using superposition windowing

Abstract

This paper discusses the selection of window function for signal processing in microwave imaging brain tumor detection. Most of the window functions are non-negative bell-shaped curves. This paper proposed a superposition windowing function for better time series data analyses and enhancement. The performance of the selected five window functions (Hamming, Blackman-Harris, Parzen, Chebyshev and Bartlett-Hanning) and the proposed superposition window were compared and evaluated. The results show the superposition window function is potentially reduce the unwanted noise and preserve important information of the signals.
