MT Format Eye Diagram (complex)

Specifies a complex-valued waveform, divides it into segments, and displays those segments as plots on a waveform graph. This node determines the segment length based on the symbol rate and eye length parameters.

Tip For a "clean" eye diagram with distinct, non-shifting transitions, the input waveform must have an integer-valued symbol-rate-to-sample-rate ratio.

This node displays either the I or Q component of the input signal, depending on the selection you make on the I/Q parameter in MT Format Eye Diagram (complex).

Inputs/Outputs

datatype_icon

waveform

Recovered modulated data for plotting as an eye diagram.

datatype_icon

t0

Trigger (start) time of the Y array.

Default value: 0

datatype_icon

dt

Time interval between data points in the Y array.

Default value: 1.0

datatype_icon

Y

The complex-valued signal-only baseband modulated waveform. The real and imaginary parts of this complex data array correspond to the in-phase (I) and quadrature-phase (Q) data, respectively.

datatype_icon

symbol rate

The desired symbol rate, in hertz (Hz).

Default value: 1.0

datatype_icon

eye length

Number of symbol periods on the horizontal scale of the eye diagram.

Default value: 1

datatype_icon

I/Q

A value that indicates whether to generate I data or Q data to the eye diagram.

I

Generates in-phase (I) data.

Q

Generates quadrature-phase (Q) data.

Default value: I

datatype_icon

error in

Error conditions that occur before this node runs.

The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.

Standard Error Behavior

Default value: No error

datatype_icon

eye diagram

An array of waveform segments for eye diagram display. Each segment has a time length of (eye length × symbol period) seconds. Wire this parameter directly to a waveform graph.

datatype_icon

t0

Trigger (start) time of the Y array.

Default value: 0

datatype_icon

dt

Time interval between data values in the Y array.

Default value: 1.0

datatype_icon

Y

The complex-valued signal-only baseband modulated waveform. The real and imaginary parts of this complex data array correspond to the in-phase (I) and quadrature-phase (Q) data, respectively.

datatype_icon

error out

Error information.

The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.
