PRBN
Produces a pseudo-random binary sequency suitable as identification input.
Syntax
y = prbn(N,rate)
Description
This function produces a binary sequence, with values 0 and 1. The chance of switching from level is given by the parameter rate. rate = 0 yields a constant value 0. rate = 1 gives an signal that changes between 0 and 1 at every time-instant. Any value in between results in a random binary sequence. This kind of testsignal has been described in [1].
Inputs
N are the number of samples.
rate is the (optional) probability of the signal changing level at each time-instant. The default value is 0.5.
Outputs
y is a pseudo-random binary noise.
Used By
This is a top-level function that is used directly by the user.
