Hop Sizes for WOLA

In the weighted overlap-add method, with the output window equal to the input window, we have the following modification of the recommended maximum hop-size table:

L In and Out Window (Length $ M$) $ R_{\hbox{max}}$ $ R_{\hbox{\hbox{\sc Cola}}}$
1 Rectangular ($ L=1$) M/2 M
2 Generalized Hamming ($ L=2$) M/6 M/3
3 Blackman Family ($ L=3$) M/10 M/5
L $ L$-term Blackman-Harris M/(4L-2) M/(2L-1)
Note that the following properties hold as before in the OLA case:
  • $ R_{\hbox{max}}$ is equal to $ 2\pi$ divided the main lobe width in ``side lobes'', while

  • $ R_{\hbox{\hbox{\sc Cola}}}$ is $ 2\pi$ divided by the first notch frequency in the window transform (lowest available frame rate at which all frame-rate harmonics are notched).

  • For windows in the Blackman-Harris families, and with main-lobe widths defined from zero-crossing to zero-crossing, $ R_{\hbox{\hbox{\sc Cola}}} = 2 R_{\hbox{max}}$.
