The following example shows input sine waves of 1050 and 1150 Hz analyzed
with different window functions. Because the frequencies in this example are
close to one another, a rectangular window with a narrow main lobe is able to
separate and display both frequencies, but a Hann window with a wide main lobe
displays the two as a single spectral component.
