Periodic Impulse Average
Purpose
Periodically average Dirac impulses over specified time
Library
Control / Filters
Description
This block periodically averages an input signal consisting of a series of Dirac
impulses
. The output
is updated at the end of each averaging period
.
Mathematically, this block corresponds to a moving average filter where the output is
processed by a zero-order hold:
The block is suited to determine average switching losses of power semiconductors. To determine average conduction losses, use the Periodic Average.
Parameters
- Averaging time
- The length of the averaging period (in sec.) and the sample time of the output signal. See also the Discrete-Periodic sample time type in section Sample Times.
Probe Signals
- Input
- The input signal.
- Output
- The filtered output signal.
