rssq

Root-sum-of-squares level

Syntax

y = rssq(x)

y = rssq(x,dim)

Description

y = rssq(x) returns the root-sum-of-squares (RSS) level, y, of the input array x. If x is a row or column vector, y is a real-valued scalar. If x has more than one dimension, then rssq operates along the first array dimension with size greater than 1.

y = rssq(x,dim) computes the RSS level of x along dimension dim.

Examples

RSS Level of Sinusoid

Compute the RSS level of a 100 Hz sinusoid sampled at 1 kHz.

t = 0:0.001:1-0.001;
x = cos(2*pi*100*t);

y = rssq(x)

y = 22.3607

RSS Levels of 2-D Matrix

Create a matrix where each column is a 100 Hz sinusoid sampled at 1 kHz with a different amplitude. The amplitude is equal to the column index.

Compute the RSS levels of the columns.

t = 0:0.001:1-0.001;
x = cos(2*pi*100*t)'*(1:4);

y = rssq(x)

y = 1×4

RSS Levels of 2-D Matrix Along Specified Dimension

Create a matrix where each row is a 100 Hz sinusoid sampled at 1 kHz with a different amplitude. The amplitude is equal to the row index.

Compute the RSS levels of the rows by specifying the dimension with the dim argument.

t = 0:0.001:1-0.001;
x = (1:4)'*cos(2*pi*100*t);

y = rssq(x,2)

y = 4×1

   44.7214
   67.0820

Root-sum-of-squares level, returned as a scalar, vector, matrix, or N-D array.

More About

Root-Sum-of-Squares Level

The root-sum-of-squares (RSS) level of a vector, x, is

$$x_{\text{RSS}}=\sqrt{{\displaystyle \sum _{n=1}^N{\left|x_n\right|}^2}},$$

with the summation performed along the specified dimension. The RSS level is also referred to as the 2-norm.

Extended Capabilities

C/C++ Code Generation

Generate C and C++ code using MATLAB® Coder™.

Usage notes and limitations:

• If you supply dim, then it must be constant.

• For limitations related to variable-size inputs, see Variable-Sizing Restrictions for Code Generation of Toolbox Functions (MATLAB Coder).

• Code generation does not support sparse matrix inputs for this function.

Thread-Based Environment

Run code in the background using MATLAB® backgroundPool or accelerate code with Parallel Computing Toolbox™ ThreadPool.

This function fully supports thread-based environments. For more information, see Run MATLAB Functions in Thread-Based Environment.
