sinusoid

boulderopal.signals.sinusoid(duration, amplitude, angular_frequency, phase=0.0)

Create a Signal object representing a sinusoidal oscillation.

Parameters

• duration (float) – The duration of the oscillation.
• amplitude (float or complex) – The amplitude of the oscillation, $A$.
• angular_frequency (float) – The angular frequency of the oscillation, $\omega$.
• phase (float , optional) – The phase of the oscillation, $\phi$. Defaults to 0.

Returns

The sinusoidal oscillation.

Return type
