Sine of fixed-point values

collapse all in page

Syntax

y = sin(theta)

Description

y = sin(theta) returns the sine of fi input theta using a table-lookup algorithm.

Input Arguments

theta

theta can be a real-valued, signed or unsigned scalar, vector, matrix, or N-dimensional array containing the fixed-point angle values in radians. Valid data types of theta are:

  • fi single

  • fi double

  • fi fixed-point with binary point scaling

  • fi scaled double with binary point scaling

Output Arguments

y

y is the sine of theta. y is a signed, fixed-point number in the range [-1,1]. It has a 16-bit word length and 15-bit fraction length (numerictype(1,16,15)) .

Examples

Calculate the sine of fixed-point input values.

theta = fi([-pi/2,-pi/3,-pi/4 0, pi/4,pi/3,pi/2])

Sine

The sine of angle Θ is defined as

sin(θ)=eiθ−e−iθ2i

Algorithms

collapse all

The sin function computes the sine of fixed-point input using an 8-bit lookup table as follows:

  1. Perform a modulo 2π, so the input is in the range [0,2π) radians.

  2. Cast the input to a 16-bit stored integer value, using the 16 most-significant bits.

  3. Compute the table index, based on the 16-bit stored integer value, normalized to the full uint16 range.

  4. Use the 8 most-significant bits to obtain the first value from the table.

  5. Use the next-greater table value as the second value.

  6. Use the 8 least-significant bits to interpolate between the first and second values, using nearest-neighbor linear interpolation.

fimath Propagation Rules

The sin function ignores and discards any fimath attached to the input, theta. The output, y, is always associated with the default fimath.
