Signal Generation

Create signals for sample-based and frame-based processing

You can create signals for sample-based and frame-based processing using the source blocks and System objects from DSP System Toolbox™.

The source blocks such as Colored Noise and Sine Wave blocks generate signals using a predefined algorithm. Most of these blocks can control number of samples in each frame (column) that they generate. For examples that show how to generate signals using these source blocks, see Create Signals for Sample-Based Processing and Create Signals for Frame-Based Processing.
