Description

The Real-Imag to Complex block converts real and/or imaginary inputs to a complex-valued output signal.

The inputs can both be arrays (vectors or matrices) of equal dimensions, or one input can be an array and the other a scalar. If the block has an array input, the output is a complex array of the same dimensions. The elements of the real input are mapped to the real parts of the corresponding complex output elements. The imaginary input is similarly mapped to the imaginary parts of the complex output signals. If one input is a scalar, it is mapped to the corresponding component (real or imaginary) of all the complex output signals.

The input signals and real or imaginary output parameter can be of any data type supported by Simulink, except Boolean. The Real-Imag to Complex block supports fixed-point data types. The output is of the same type as the input or parameter that determines the output.

For a discussion on the data types supported by Simulink, refer to Data Types Supported by Simulink in the Using Simulink documentation.

Parameters and Dialog Box

Input: Specifies the kind of input: a real input, an imaginary input, or both.
Real (Imag) part: If the input is a real-part signal, this parameter specifies the constant imaginary part of the output signal. If the input is the imaginary part, this parameter specifies the constant real part of the output signal. Note that the title of this field changes to reflect its usage.
Sample time (-1 for inherited): Specify the time interval between samples. To inherit the sample time, set this parameter to -1. See Specifying Sample Time in the online documentation for more information.
