The idea is to simulate a signal with lower amplitude and higher frequency as we move away from zero in the positive and negative directions:
I am trying to find, perhaps, a modification of $\frac{\sin(x)}{x}.$ The function needs to be even.
Thank you very much for the suggestions in the comments, but when I plot $\frac{\sin(x^3)}{x^3}$ I get some ugly flattened wave in the middle:
I am looking for something like a modified sinc function as suggested in the comments, combined with a Gaussian, but without the big peak in the middle. See for instance
$$\sin(x^2)/x^2 + \exp(-x^2) $$
Another - not completely satisfactory - equation $(-\frac{\sin(x^2)}{x^2} + 2\frac{\cos(x^2)}{x^2})$:





Here is the plot of $\cos(12x^2) \cdot e^{-x^2}$:
Instead of dividing by $x$, which causes a lot of unnecessary issues, just use $\cos$ to start. Then multiply it by whatever envelope you'd like.
