The apodization function
(1)
which is a generalization of the one-argument triangle function . Its full width at half maximum
is .
It has instrument function
(2)
where
is the sinc function . The peak of is , and the full width
at half maximum is given by setting and numerically solving
(3)
for ,
yielding
(4)
Therefore, with ,
(5)
The function
is always positive, so there are no negative sidelobes.
The extrema are given by differentiating with respect to , defining , and setting equal to 0,
(6)
Solving this numerically gives minima of 0 at , 2, 3, ..., and sidelobes of 0.047190, 0.01648, 0.00834029,
... at ,
2.45892, 3.47089, ....
