Description

The Chirp Signal block generates a sine wave whose frequency increases at a linear rate with time. You can use this block for spectral analysis of nonlinear systems. The block generates a scalar or vector output.

Data Type Support

A Chirp Signal block outputs a real-valued signal of type double.

Parameters and Dialog Box

Initial frequency
The initial frequency of the signal, specified as a scalar or vector value. The default is 0.1 Hz.
Target time
The time at which the frequency reaches the Frequency at target time parameter value, a scalar or vector value. The frequency continues to change at the same rate after this time. The default is 100 seconds.
Frequency at target time
The frequency of the signal at the target time, a scalar or vector value. The default is 1 Hz.
