Jan 18, 2022 at 1:05 comment added LSpice @KyleMiller, is a complex number of large magnitude called "jinormous"? 😄
Jan 17, 2022 at 3:18 comment added Kyle Miller I've heard engineering students refer to them as the "jimaginary numbers."
Jan 16, 2022 at 23:42 comment added LSpice $j$ is the "engineer's imaginary".

Jan 16, 2022 at 23:22 comment added Fallen Apart @JulesLamers O, I missed that. My bad, very thanks for pointing this out
Jan 16, 2022 at 23:21 comment added Jules Lamers Sorry, I just meant that $w$ is the 'window', $\omega$ a variable (as the notation suggests)
Jan 16, 2022 at 23:19 comment added Fallen Apart @JulesLamers Yeah, It can be just rectangular window, but usually one adds additional smoothing. Here you can browse various windows: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… The notation is consistent with the formula in my answer. Regarding $j$, I saw this notation few times; one interesting fact is that in python imaginary unit is in fact denoted by j. Thus, if you write in python 1.0 + 1.0j it will treat it as $1+i$.
Jan 16, 2022 at 23:05 comment added Jules Lamers Lest anyone else wonders -- from the linked Wikipedia page I gather that the function $w$ in the (sort of) convolution is the "smoothing window", and $j=\sqrt{-1}$ (I never saw that notation before beyond the context of quaternions).
