Description

The Sawtooth Generator block generates a sawtooth waveform, with peak amplitude of +/−1, at regular intervals. The figure shows how the Frequency and Phase block parameters affect the output waveform.

Examples

The power_SignalGenerators example shows various uses of the Sawtooth Generator block.

Output of the block sawtooth signal.

Parameters

expand all

Specify the frequency of the sawtooth waveform, in hertz.

Specify the delay of the sawtooth waveform, in degrees. When the phase is set to 0, the waveform starts with an amplitude of −1 and a positive slope.

Specify the sample time of the block, in seconds. Set to 0 to implement a continuous block.
