For simplicity, define window-transform bandlimits at first zero-crossings about the main lobe. Given the first zero of at , we obtain

L | Window Type (Length ) | ||
1 | Rectangular | M/2 | M |
2 | Generalized Hamming | M/4 | M/2 |
3 | Blackman Family | M/6 | M/3 |
L | -term Blackman-Harris | M/2L | M/L |
It is interesting to note that the maximum COLA hop size is double the maximum downsampling factor which avoids aliasing of the main lobe of the window transform in FFT-bin signals . Since the COLA constraint is a sufficient condition for perfect reconstruction, this aliasing is quite heavy (see Fig.9.21), yet it is all canceled in the reconstruction. The general theory of aliasing cancellation in perfect reconstruction filter banks will be taken up in Chapter 11.
It is important to realize that aliasing cancellation is disturbed by FBS spectral modifications.10.5For robustness in the presence of spectral modifications, it is advisable to keep . For compression, it is common to use together with a ``synthesis window'' in a weighted overlap-add (WOLA) scheme (§8.6).
