Sinusoidal Voltage Source

A sinusoidal voltage source with attenuation.

sinusoidal voltage source

Description

The Sinusoidal Voltage Source unit is a sinusoidal voltage source whose output voltage is independent of the current through the source. The following equations describe the output voltage as a function of time:



where

  • - corresponds to the value of the parameter Voltage offset, VO;

  • - corresponds to the value of the parameter Sinusoidal amplitude, VA;

  • - corresponds to the value of the parameter Sinusoidal frequency, FREQ;

  • - corresponds to the value of the parameter Time delay, TD;

  • - corresponds to the value of parameter Damping factor, DF.

Parameters

Parameters

# Voltage offset, VO — voltage offset
V | MV | kV | mV

Details

A voltage offset that is independent of the time-dependent portion of the output voltage.

Values

V | MV | kV | mV

Default value

0.0 V

Program usage name

VO

Evaluatable

Yes

# Sinusoidal amplitude, VA — sinusoidal amplitude
V | MV | kV | mV

Details

The magnitude of the sinusoidal part of the output voltage.

Values

V | MV | kV | mV

Default value

0.0 V

Program usage name

VA

Evaluatable

Yes

# Sinusoidal frequency, FREQ — sinusoidal frequency
Hz | GHz | MHz | kHz

Details

The frequency of the output sinusoid. The value can be less than 0.

Values

Hz | GHz | MHz | kHz

Default value

1e6 Hz

Program usage name

FREQ

Evaluatable

Yes

# Time delay, TD — time delay
d | s | hr | ms | ns | us | min

Details

The time at which the generation of a sinusoidal signal starts. A value less than 0 indicates a 180 degree phase shift.

Values

d | s | hr | ms | ns | us | min

Default value

0.0 s

Program usage name

TD

Evaluatable

Yes

# Damping factor, DF — damping factor
Hz | GHz | MHz | kHz | 1/s

Details

The exponential damping factor of a sinusoidal signal to produce an output voltage. If DF is greater than 0, the exponential part of the equation always dampens for a time greater than TD. The value must be greater than or equal to 0.

Values

Hz | GHz | MHz | kHz | 1/s

Default value

0.0 1/s

Program usage name

DF

Evaluatable

Yes
