Lookup Tables

Lookup table blocks such as Cosine and Sine

Use blocks from the Lookup Tables library to model nonlinearity. Lookup table blocks use arrays of data to map input values to output values, approximating mathematical functions. To approximate a function in N variables, use the n-D Lookup Table block:

Blocks

1-D Lookup Table	Approximate one-dimensional function
2-D Lookup Table	Approximate two-dimensional function
Direct Lookup Table (n-D)	Index into n-dimensional table to retrieve element, vector, or 2-D matrix
Interpolation Using Prelookup	Use precalculated index and fraction values to accelerate approximation of N-dimensional function
Lookup Table Dynamic	Approximate a one-dimensional function using dynamic table
Prelookup	Compute index and fraction for Interpolation Using Prelookup block
Sine, Cosine	Implement fixed-point sine or cosine wave using lookup table approach that exploits quarter wave symmetry
n-D Lookup Table	Approximate n-dimensional function
