About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

iterBartlettPulse

Create an iterator which generates a Bartlett pulse waveform.

A Bartlett pulse waveform is represented by the following equation

$$f(t; T, \tau, a, \varphi) = \begin{cases}1 - \biggl|\frac{2(t-\varphi)}{\tau-1} - 1\biggr| & (t-\varphi) \mod T < \tau \\ 0 & \textrm{otherwise} \end{cases}$$

where T is the pulse period, τ is the pulse duration, a is the amplitude, and φ is the phase offset.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/simulate-iter-bartlett-pulse

Alternatively,

• To load the package in a website via a script tag without installation and bundlers, use the ES Module available on the esm branch (see README).
• If you are using Deno, visit the deno branch (see README for usage intructions).
• For use in Observable, or in browser/node environments, use the Universal Module Definition (UMD) build available on the umd branch (see README).

The branches.md file summarizes the available branches and displays a diagram illustrating their relationships.

To view installation and usage instructions specific to each branch build, be sure to explicitly navigate to the respective README files on each branch, as linked to above.

Usage

var iterBartlettPulse = require( '@stdlib/simulate-iter-bartlett-pulse' );

iterBartlettPulse( [options] )

Returns an iterator which generates a Bartlett pulse waveform.

var it = iterBartlettPulse();
// returns <Object>

var v = it.next().value;
// returns <number>

v = it.next().value;
// returns <number>

v = it.next().value;
// returns <number>

// ...

The returned iterator protocol-compliant object has the following properties:

• next: function which returns an iterator protocol-compliant object containing the next iterated value (if one exists) assigned to a value property and a done property having a boolean value indicating whether the iterator is finished.
• return: function which closes an iterator and returns a single (optional) argument in an iterator protocol-compliant object.

The function supports the following options:

• period: pulse period (i.e., the number of iterations before a waveform repeats). Default: 100.
• duration: pulse duration. Must be greater than 2. Default: options.period.
• amplitude: amplitude. Default: 1.0.
• offset: phase offset (in units of iterations; zero-based). A negative offset translates a waveform to the left. A positive offset translates a waveform to the right. Default: 0.
• iter: number of iterations. Default: 1e308.

By default, the function returns an iterator which generates a waveform that repeats every 100 iterations. To specify an alternative period, set the period option.

var opts = {
    'period': 10
};

var it = iterBartlettPulse( opts );
// returns <Object>

var v = it.next().value;
// returns <number>

v = it.next().value;
// returns <number>

// ...

By default, the function returns an iterator which generates a waveform that has a duty cycle of 100% (i.e., the waveform duration equals the waveform period). To specify an alternative duty cycle, set the duration option. For example, to generate a waveform having a period of 10 iterations and a 50% duty cycle,

var opts = {
    'period': 10,
    'duration': 5 // 5/10 = 0.50 => 50%
};

var it = iterBartlettPulse( opts );
// returns <Object>

var v = it.next().value;
// returns 0.0

v = it.next().value;
// returns 0.5

v = it.next().value;
// returns 1.0

v = it.next().value;
// returns 0.5

v = it.next().value;
// returns 0.0

v = it.next().value;
// returns 0.0

v = it.next().value;
// returns 0.0

v = it.next().value;
// returns 0.0

v = it.next().value;
// returns 0.0

v = it.next().value;
// returns 0.0

// ...

To adjust at what point the iterator begins in the waveform cycle, set the phase offset option. For example, to translate the waveform to the left,

var opts = {
    'period': 10,
    'duration': 5,
    'offset': -7
};

var it = iterBartlettPulse( opts );
// returns <Object>

var v = it.next().value;
// returns 0.0

v = it.next().value;
// returns 0.0

v = it.next().value;
// returns 0.0

v = it.next().value;
// returns 0.0

v = it.next().value;
// returns 0.5

v = it.next().value;
// returns 1.0

// ...

To translate the waveform to the right,

var opts = {
    'period': 10,
    'duration': 5,
    'offset': 2
};

var it = iterBartlettPulse( opts );
// returns <Object>

var v = it.next().value;
// returns 0.0

v = it.next().value;
// returns 0.0

v = it.next().value;
// returns 0.0

v = it.next().value;
// returns 0.5

v = it.next().value;
// returns 1.0

// ...

By default, the function returns an infinite iterator (i.e., an iterator which never ends). To limit the number of iterations, set the iter option.

var opts = {
    'iter': 2
};
var it = iterBartlettPulse( opts );
// returns <Object>

var v = it.next().value;
// returns <number>

v = it.next().value;
// returns <number>

var bool = it.next().done;
// returns true

Notes

• If an environment supports Symbol.iterator, the returned iterator is iterable.

Examples

var iterBartlettPulse = require( '@stdlib/simulate-iter-bartlett-pulse' );

// Create an iterator:
var opts = {
    'period': 50,
    'duration': 25,
    'amplitude': 10.0,
    'offset': -25,
    'iter': 100
};
var it = iterBartlettPulse( opts );

// Perform manual iteration...
var v;
while ( true ) {
    v = it.next();
    if ( v.done ) {
        break;
    }
    console.log( v.value );
}
