The third step is the multiplication of the source waveform by the
selected window function.

The fifth step is the division of the resulting complex vector X
by the coherent gain of the window function, to compensate for th~
loss of the signal energy due to windowing. This compensation
provides accurate amplitude values for isolated spectrum peaks.
