FIR Window - Taylor

I'm working on a project for school. (No this is not "give me the solution question"). Basically we have to design a FIR filter for an application. We selected Window Taylor Method.

Now FDAtool is wonderful but I want to calculate the coefficients myself using the formula. Now I googled and googled and search all over the place but i can't find any formula that let me calculate the coefficients.

So my question is, what is the basic FIR window Taylor formula and how can I Implement it?

The taylorwin documentation provides references for the signal processing algorithms.

[1] Carrara, W.G., R.M. Majewski and R.S. Goodman, Spotlight Synthetic Aperature Radar: Signal Processing Algorithms, Artech House Publishers, Boston, 1995, Appendix D.2.

Thanks alot, I'll look it up at the library.

You can use taylorwin in Signal Processing Toolbox to calculate the coefficients for a Taylor window. If you want to know the exact equation, the references listed in the documentation of taylorwin is a good start.
