In the field of sensor signal processing, windows are time-/frequency-domain weighting functions that are widely applied to reduce the well-known Gibbs oscillations. Conventional methods generally control the spectral characteristics of windows by adjusting several of the parameters of closed-form expressions. Designers must make trade-offs among the mainlobe width (MW), the peak sidelobe level (PSL), and sometimes the sidelobe fall-off rate (SLFOR) of windows by carefully adjusting these parameters. Generally, not all sidelobes need to be suppressed in specified applications. In this paper, a novel method, i.e., the inverse of the shaped output using the cyclic algorithm (ISO-CA), for designing window functions with flexible spectral characteristics is proposed. Simulations are conducted to test the effectiveness, flexibility and versatility of the method. Some experiments based on real measured data are also presented to demonstrate the practicability. The results show that the window functions generated using the cyclic algorithm (CA) yield better performance overall than the windows of conventional methods, achieving a narrower MW, a lower PSL, and a controllable SLFOR. In addition, steerable sidelobes over specified regions can be acquired both easily and flexibly while maintaining the original properties of the initial window as much as possible. Full article
