step

System object: comm.DifferentialEncoder
Package: comm

Encode binary signal using differential coding

Syntax

Y = step(H,X)


Description

Note

Starting in R2016b, instead of using the step method to perform the operation defined by the System object™, you can call the object with arguments, as if it were a function. For example, y = step(obj,x) and y = obj(x) perform equivalent operations.

Y = step(H,X) encodes the binary input data, X, and returns the differentially encoded data, Y. The input X must be a column vector of data type logical, numeric, or fixed-point (embedded.fi objects). Y has the same data type as X. The object treats non-binary inputs as binary signals. The object computes the initial output value by performing an Xor operation of the value in the InitialCondition property and the first element of the vector you input the first time you call the step method.

Note

obj specifies the System object on which to run this step method.

The object performs an initialization the first time the step method is executed. This initialization locks nontunable properties and input specifications. For more information on changing property values, see System Design in MATLAB Using System Objects.
