PchipPulse

PchipPulse#

class PchipPulse(options)#

Bases: PartialPeriodicWaveform, ConstantTop

PchipPulse generates pulses with PCHIP-shaped rise and fall transitions.

Creates pulse signals with smooth rise and fall transitions using Piecewise Cubic Hermite Interpolating Polynomial (PCHIP) interpolation. Provides smoother transitions than linear ramps. Inherits from PartialPeriodicWaveform.

Example1:

% Create a PCHIP pulse with rise and fall times
pulse = PchipPulse(amplitude = 2.0, ...
                   riseTime = 0.001, fallTime = 0.001);
pulse.plot();

Example2:

% Create a pulse with only rise time
pulse = PchipPulse(amplitude = 1.0, riseTime = 0.002);
pulse.plot();
Constructor Summary
PchipPulse(options)#

Construct a PchipPulse object.

Parameters:

  • samplingRate (double, optional) – Sampling rate in Hz (default: [])

  • startTime (double, optional) – Start time in seconds (default: 0)

  • duration (double, optional) – Duration in seconds (default: [])

  • amplitude (double, optional) – Peak-to-peak amplitude (default: [])

  • offset (double, optional) – DC offset (default: 0)

  • frequency (double, optional) – Frequency in Hz (default: [])

  • phase (double, optional) – Initial phase in radians (default: 0)

  • riseTime (double, optional) – Rise transition time in seconds (default: 0)

  • fallTime (double, optional) – Fall transition time in seconds (default: 0)

Method Summary
TimeFunc()#

Get the time function for the PCHIP pulse.

Creates a function handle that generates pulse values with PCHIP-interpolated rise and fall transitions. Implements the abstract TimeFunc() method from Waveform.

Returns:

Function that takes time array and returns PCHIP pulse values

Return type:

function_handle
