This example demonstrates how to calculate characteristic values of the pulse signal y
| Characteristic quantity | Numerically calculated | Analytically calculated |
| Mean | mean.y |
y_mean |
| Rectified mean | rectifiedMean.y |
y_rect |
| Root mean square | rootMeanSquare.y |
y_rms |
| First harmonic | harmonic.y_rmsharmonic.y_arg |
y1_rmsy1_arg |
The output of these blocks is updated after each period of the signal.
Using a simple pulse series, these values can be calculated analytically. Propagating these values as initial values for the output, we can compare the numerical solution with the analytical solution: The output is constant from the beginning.
