  • Identity Matrix block

Description

The Identity Matrix block generates a rectangular matrix with ones on the main diagonal and zeros elsewhere.

When you select the Inherit output port attributes from input port check box, the input port is enabled, and an M-by-N matrix input generates an M-by-N matrix output with the same sample period as the input. The values in the input matrix are ignored. The equivalent MATLAB® code is:

y = eye([M N])

When you clear the Inherit output port attributes from input port check box, the input port is disabled, and the block determines the dimensions of the output matrix based on the Matrix size parameter. A scalar value, M, specifies an M-by-M identity matrix, while a two-element vector, [M N], specifies an M-by-N unit-diagonal matrix. You can specify the output sample period using the Sample time parameter.

Ports

Input

expand all

Input signal used to determine dimensions of the output matrix, specified as a scalar, vector, or matrix. When the input signal is an M-by-N matrix, the block generates an M-by-N matrix output with the same sample period as the input. The values in the input matrix are ignored.

Dependencies

To enable this port, select the Inherit output port attributes from input port check box.

Parameters

Main

Enables the input port when selected. In this mode, the output inherits its dimensions, sample period, and data type from the input. The output is always real.

The number of rows and columns in the output matrix. You can specify:

  • A positive integer scalar M to create a square M-by-M output.

  • A vector of positive integers, [M N], to create an M-by-N output.

Dependencies

To enable this parameter, clear the Inherit output port attributes from input port check box.

The discrete sample period of the output specified as a real-valued scalar.

Dependencies

To enable this parameter, clear the Inherit output port attributes from input port check box.

Data Types

Specify the output data type for this block. You can select one of the following:

  • A rule that inherits a data type, for example, Inherit: Inherit via back propagation. When you select this option, the output data type and scaling matches that of the next downstream block.

  • A built-in data type, such as double

  • An expression that evaluates to a valid data type, for example, fixdt(1,16)
