Sinusoidal Voltage Source
A sinusoidal voltage source with attenuation.
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.

#
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.

| 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.
