SampleWithADeffects

Sample with (simulated) Analog-Digital converter effects including noise

Information

This information is part of the Modelica Standard Library maintained by the Modelica Association.

This block is similar to the Sample block. The only difference is that after the sampling of the input signal, simulated real-world effects are applied on the sampled signal. In particular:

  • The output is limited, if parameter limited = true.
  • The output is value discretized in the form of an Analog-Digital converter with a definable number of bits, if parameters limited = true, and quantized = true.
  • Noise is added to the output if parameter noisy = true. A pseudo random number generator is used to generate uniformly distributed random numbers in a given band.

Example

The following example samples a sine signal with a periodic clock of 20 ms period, and adds the following effects:

  • Limits the output to +/- 0.8.
  • Discretizes the output with an 8 bit AD converter.
  • Adds large uniform noise with a band of +/- 0.2.

The output y is quite far away from the continuous-time input signal, due to the strong discretization and large noise applied to the sampled input.
