komm.RectangularPulse

Rectangular pulse. It is a formatting pulse with impulse response given by $$ h(t) = \begin{cases} 1, & 0 \leq t < w, \\ 0, & \text{otherwise}. \end{cases}, $$ where $w$ is the width of the pulse, which must satisfy $0 \leq w \leq 1$. The rectangular pulse is depicted below for $w = 1$ (called the NRZ pulse), and for $w = 0.5$ (called the halfway RZ pulse).

Rectangular NRZ pulse. Rectangular RZ pulse.

__init__()

Constructor for the class.

Parameters:

  • width (Optional[float]) –

    The width $w$ of the pulse. Must satisfy $0 \leq w \leq 1$. The default value is 1.0.

Examples:

>>> pulse = komm.RectangularPulse(width=1.0)  # NRZ pulse

>>> pulse = komm.RectangularPulse(width=0.5)  # Halfway RZ pulse

width property

The width $w$ of the pulse.
