abs - Entrywise magnitude of frequency response

Syntax

absfrd = abs(sys)

Description

absfrd = abs(sys) computes the magnitude of the frequency response contained in the FRD model sys. For MIMO models, the magnitude is computed for each entry. The output absfrd is an FRD object containing the magnitude data across frequencies.
