gauspuls — Generate Gaussian-modulated sinusoidal pulses.
gauspuls(T) evaluates a Gaussian-modulated cosine pulse. Optional FC, BW, and BWR arguments control carrier frequency, fractional bandwidth, and bandwidth reference level. [YI, YQ, YE] = gauspuls(T, FC, BW, BWR) also returns quadrature samples and the Gaussian envelope. gauspuls('cutoff', FC, BW, BWR, TPE) returns the cutoff time where the envelope reaches TPE dB.
Syntax
gauspuls(T)How gauspuls works
- Operates element-wise on real numeric scalars, vectors, matrices, and N-D tensors; preserves input shape.
- One output returns the in-phase cosine component; three requested outputs return in-phase, quadrature, and envelope arrays.
- Defaults are
FC = 1000,BW = 0.5, andBWR = -6. - Carrier frequency and bandwidth must be positive finite scalars.
- Bandwidth reference and cutoff envelope levels must be negative finite scalars.
- Complex inputs are rejected with a builtin-scoped error.
Examples
Evaluate a Gaussian pulse
t = -0.001:0.001:0.001;
y = gauspuls(t, 1000, 0.5, -6)Return in-phase, quadrature, and envelope samples
t = 0:0.00025:0.001;
[yi, yq, ye] = gauspuls(t, 1000, 0.5, -6)Compute cutoff time
tc = gauspuls('cutoff', 1000, 0.5, -6, -60)Using gauspuls with coding agents
Open a RunMat example with live inputs, then ask the agent to explain how gauspuls changes the result.
Run a small gauspuls example, explain the result, then change one input and compare the output.
FAQ
Can gauspuls be used inside pulstran?⌄
Yes. pulstran(T, D, 'gauspuls', FC, BW, BWR) evaluates Gaussian pulses centered at each delay.
