DERIV

Derivative

Block Screenshot

Description

The Derivative block approximates the instantaneous derivative of its input with respect to time t.

It is a measure of how a output changes as its input changes Δu. The derivative is given by:

The derivative block has no setting and the initial output for the block is zero.

Default properties

  • always active: no

  • direct-feedthrough: yes

  • zero-crossing: no

  • mode: no

  • regular inputs:

    - port 1 : size [-1,1] / type 1

  • regular outputs:

    - port 1 : size [-1,1] / type 1

  • number/sizes of activation inputs: 0

  • number/sizes of activation outputs: 0

  • discrete-time state: no

  • object discrete-time state: no

  • name of computational function: deriv

DERIVATIVE Example

In this example, we compute and display the derivative waveform of a sinusoidal input signal, with amplitude 2 and frequency 1.25 Hz.

The input and output waveforms of the DERIVATIVE block are shown below:
