maxframe.tensor.sinc#

maxframe.tensor.sinc(x, **kwargs)[source]#

Return the sinc function.

The sinc function is \(\\sin(\\pi x)/(\\pi x)\).

Parameters:: x (Tensor) – Tensor (possibly multi-dimensional) of values for which to to calculate sinc(x).
Returns:: out – sinc(x), which has the same shape as the input.
Return type:: Tensor

Notes

sinc(0) is the limit value 1.

The name sinc is short for “sine cardinal” or “sinus cardinalis”.

The sinc function is used in various signal processing applications, including in anti-aliasing, in the construction of a Lanczos resampling filter, and in interpolation.

For bandlimited interpolation of discrete-time signals, the ideal interpolation kernel is proportional to the sinc function.
