tripuls — Generate sampled triangular pulses.
tripuls(T) returns samples of a unit-width triangular pulse centered at zero. tripuls(T, W, S) uses width W and skew S in [-1, 1].
Syntax
tripuls(T)How tripuls works
- Operates element-wise on real numeric scalars, vectors, matrices, and N-D tensors; preserves input shape.
- The pulse is zero outside
[-W/2, W/2]and reaches one atS*W/2. - The width must be positive and finite.
- The skew must be finite and in
[-1, 1]. - Complex and text inputs are rejected with a builtin-scoped error.
Examples
Default centered triangle
t = -0.5:0.25:0.5;
y = tripuls(t)Expected output:
y = [0 0.5 1 0.5 0]Skewed triangle
t = -1:1;
y = tripuls(t, 2, 1)Expected output:
y = [0 0.5 1]Using tripuls with coding agents
Open a RunMat example with live inputs, then ask the agent to explain how tripuls changes the result.
Run a small tripuls example, explain the result, then change one input and compare the output.
FAQ
Can tripuls be used inside pulstran?⌄
Yes. pulstran(T, D, 'tripuls', W, S) evaluates triangular pulses centered at each delay.
