sinusoid

The Boulder Opal Toolkits are currently in beta phase of development. Breaking changes may be introduced.

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:

Signal

Notes

The sinusoid is defined as

\[\mathop{\mathrm{Sinusoid}}(t) = A \sin \left( \omega t + \phi \right) .\]

Examples

Define a sinusoidal oscillation.

>>> signal = qctrl.signals.sinusoid(
...     duration=2.0,
...     amplitude=1.0,
...     angular_frequency=np.pi,
...     phase=np.pi/2.0,
... )
