PS Saturation - Limit range of physical signal

Library

Physical Signals/Nonlinear Operators

Description

The PS Saturation block imposes upper and lower bounds on a physical signal. When the input signal is within the range specified by the Lower limit and Upper limit parameters, the input signal passes through unchanged. When the input signal is outside these bounds, the signal is clipped to the upper or lower bound.

When the Lower limit and Upper limit parameters are set to the same value, the block outputs that value.

Both the input and the output are physical signals.

Dialog Box and Parameters

Upper limit

The upper bound on the input signal. When the input signal to the Saturation block is above this value, the output of the block is clipped to this value. The default is 0.5.

Lower limit

The lower bound on the input signal. When the input signal to the Saturation block is below this value, the output of the block is clipped to this value. The default is -0.5.

Ports

The block has one physical signal input port and one physical signal output port.
