Details

Ideal voltage — the unit simulates a constant voltage envelope on the parameters specified in the parameter Carrier frequencies, Hz carrier frequencies. The envelope has real and imaginary parts defined by the parameters Constant in-phase value, V and Constant quadrature value, V.
Ideal current — the block simulates the DC envelope on the parameters specified in the parameter Carrier frequencies, Hz carrier frequencies. The envelope has real and imaginary parts defined by the parameters Constant in-phase value, A and Constant quadrature value, A.
Power — the unit simulates a constant voltage envelope

where
- — the value of the parameter Available power;
- — the value of the Source impedance (ohms) parameter;
- — the value of the Angle (degrees) parameter.
