+## f(w) = 1 - 1.93 cos(2 pi w) + 1.29 cos(4 pi w)
+## - 0.388 cos(6 pi w) + 0.0322cos(8 pi w)
+##
+## where w = i/(L-1) for i=0:L-1 for a symmetric window, or
+## w = i/L for i=0:L-1 for a periodic window. The default
+## is symmetric. The returned window is normalized to a peak
+## of 1 at w = 0.5.
+##
+## This window has low pass-band ripple, but high bandwidth.
+##
+## According to [1]:
+##
+## The main use for the Flat Top window is for calibration, due
+## to its negligible amplitude errors.
