Abstract

A function that is well suited to describe a square wave as well as a sequence of delta functions is presented. The squdel function has a closed rational form instead of a series approximation. Bandwidth limitations are readily incorporated in this function without producing undesirable ringing artifacts. The squdel function is infinitely differentiable and analytic for a squareness parameter as close as required to the square function provided that the limit is not taken. Even its Fourier series decomposition does not exhibit overshooting when truncated. Two-dimensional soft pixel structures are shown to be economically modeled with this function.
