dsp.AnalyticSignal

Analytic signals of discrete-time inputs

expand all in page

Description

The dsp.AnalyticSignal System object™ computes analytic signals of discrete-time inputs. The real part of the analytic signal in each channel is a replica of the real input in that channel, and the imaginary part is the Hilbert transform of the input. In the frequency domain, the analytic signal doubles the positive frequency content of the original signal while zeroing-out negative frequencies and retaining the DC component. The object computes the Hilbert transform using an equiripple FIR filter.

To compute the analytic signal of a discrete-time input:

  1. Create the dsp.AnalyticSignal object and set its properties.

  2. Call the object with arguments, as if it were a function.

To learn more about how System objects work, see What Are System Objects?.

Creation

Syntax

anaSig = dsp.AnalyticSignal
anaSig = dsp.AnalyticSignal(order)
anaSig = dsp.AnalyticSignal(Name,Value)

Description

anaSig = dsp.AnalyticSignal returns an analytic signal object, anaSig, that computes the complex analytic signal corresponding to each channel of a real M-by-N input matrix.

example

anaSig = dsp.AnalyticSignal(order) returns an analytic signal object, anaSig, with the FilterOrder property set to order.

anaSig = dsp.AnalyticSignal(Name,Value) returns an analytic signal object, anaSig, with each specified property set to the specified value.

Properties

expand all

Unless otherwise indicated, properties are nontunable, which means you cannot change their values after calling the object. Objects lock when you call them, and the release function unlocks them.

If a property is tunable, you can change its value at any time.

For more information on changing property values, see System Design in MATLAB Using System Objects.

Order of the equiripple FIR filter used in computing the Hilbert transform, specified as an even integer scalar greater than 3.

Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64

Usage

Syntax

y = anaSig(x)

Description

example

y = anaSig(x) computes the analytic signal, y, of the M-by-N input matrix x, according to the equation

Y=X+jH{X}

where j is the imaginary unit and H{X} denotes the Hilbert transform.

Each of the N columns in x contains M sequential time samples from an independent channel. The method computes the analytic signal for each channel.

Object Functions

To use an object function, specify the System object as the first input argument. For example, to release system resources of a System object named obj, use this syntax:

release(obj)

Note: This example runs only in R2016b or later. If you are using an earlier release, replace each call to the function with the equivalent step syntax. For example, myObject(x) becomes step(myObject,x).

Compute the analytic signal of a sinusoidal input.

t = (-1:0.01:1)';
x = sin(4*pi*t);
anaSig = dsp.AnalyticSignal(200);
y = anaSig(x);

Algorithms

This object implements the algorithm, inputs, and outputs described on the Analytic Signal block reference page. The object properties correspond to the block parameters.
