Description
The Quantization block implements a quantizer. The output is obtained from the input according to a choice of methods : round , truncation , floor , ceil , or round2 methods. When fed with a smooth signal, it produces a stair-step signal.
Parameters
| Name | Label | Description | Data Type | Valid Values |
|---|---|---|---|---|
step | Quantization step | Quantization step. Real scalar value. Default 0.1. | Matrix | |
method | Quantization type | Quantization method : round, truncation, floor, ceil, round2. Round : step*ceil(u/step-0.5) Tranc : step*((int)(u/step)) Ceil : step*ceil(u/step) floor : step*floor(u/step) Round2: step * ((u < 0.) ? ((int) (u/ step + .5) - .5): ((int)(u/ step - .5) + .5)) The input data type should be double. | String | 'Round' |
externalActivation | External activation | Specifies whether the block receives an external activation or inherits its activation through its regular input ports. When External Activation is selected, an additional activation port is added to the block. By default, external activation is not selected. | Number | 0 |
Ports
| Name | Type | Description | IO Type | Number |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Port 1 | explicit | input | 1 | |
Port 2 | explicit | output | 1 | |
Port 3 | activation | input | externalActivation |
