MT Upconvert Baseband (Real)
Upconverts baseband I/Q (complex envelope) signal data to its real passband equivalent. You can use this node with simulated data. The function operates independently of your hardware settings.
Inputs/Outputs

baseband waveform
The complex envelope signal data for upconversion to its passband equivalent.

t0
The trigger (start) time of the acquired signal.
Default value: 0.0

dt
Time interval between data points in the acquired signal.
Default value: 1.0

Y
The complex-valued time-domain data array. The real and imaginary parts of this complex data array correspond to the in-phase (I) and quadrature-phase (Q) data, respectively.

carrier frequency
The center frequency of the passband, in hertz (Hz). The incoming signal is upconverted to center around this frequency. Specify the desired carrier frequency of the outgoing signal with this parameter.

error in
Error conditions that occur before this node runs.
The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.
Default value: No error

reset?
A Boolean that determines whether to use the value specified in the initial phase parameter.
| TRUE | The node uses the initial phase value. |
| FALSE | The node ignores the initial phase value and continues using values supplied in the previous call. Reusing previous input values is useful when sequential data blocks represent contiguous signal data. |
Default value: FALSE

initial phase
The initial phase, in degrees, of the software local oscillator used in the upconversion process. The node ignores this parameter if you set the reset? parameter to FALSE. Use the initial phase parameter to match the phase of the incoming modulated carrier and the local oscillator(s) of the upconversion process.

passband waveform
The upconverted signal in passband form.

error out
Error information.
The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.
