step2impulse

Impulse response from step response

Since R2021b

Syntax

I = step2impulse(S,dt)

Description

I = step2impulse(S,dt) converts a step response S to an impulse response I, given the uniform sample interval dt.

Examples

Create Impulse Response from Step Response.

Load the step response column matrix from a file.

load('StepResponseReflective100ps.mat');

Calculate the impulse response from the step response.

impulse = step2impulse(step,dt);

Plot the step response.

plot(t(1:end-1),impulse)
xlabel('time [seconds]')
ylabel('Volts')
title('Impulse Response')

Input Arguments

S — Step response

column matrix

Input step response, specified as a column matrix. The first column contains the primary step response and the subsequent columns (if any) contain the crosstalk step responses.

Data Types: double

dt — Uniform sampling interval

positive real scalar

Uniform timestep of the waveform, specified as a real positive scalar in seconds.

Data Types: double

Output Arguments

I — Impulse response

column matrix

Converted impulse response, returned as a column matrix. The first column contains the primary impulse response and the subsequent columns (if any) contain the crosstalk impulse responses. The number of rows in the impulse response must be one less than the number of rows in the step response.

Data Types: double
