Variable Pulse Generator

Generation of an ideal, time-varying pulse signal.

variable pulse generator

Description

Use the Variable Pulse Generator unit to create perfect modulated pulse signals.

In general, the output pulse of the block is described by the expression

,

where is the width of the output pulse.

Ports

Input

D - duty cycle
scalar | vector | matrix

Desired duty cycle of pulse P as a scalar in the range [0,1].

Data types: Float16, Float32, Float64, Int8, Int16, Int32, Int64, UInt8, UInt16, UInt32, UInt64, Bool.

P - period
scalar | vector | matrix

The time between the rising edges of successive pulses of the output signal. A smaller value corresponds to a higher pulse frequency.

Data types: Float16, Float32, Float64, Int8, Int16, Int32, Int64, UInt8, UInt16, UInt32, UInt64, Bool.

Output

Port_1 - modulated output pulse signal
scalar | vector | matrix

Modulated output pulse signal corresponding to the input duty cycle.

Data types: Float64.

Parameters

Allow zero pulse width - allow zero output signal width
off (by default) | on

Enable this parameter to allow the output pulse signal to maintain a pulse width of 0.

Enabling this parameter causes the block to have a direct through connection. This can cause algebraic loops in your model.

Data types: Bool.

Sample Time - interval between calculation steps
0.1 (By default) | scalar.

Specify the interval between calculation steps as a non-negative number. To inherit a calculation step, set this parameter to -1.
