SWEEP

The SWEEP (x, a, x0, f0, x1, f1, dx) function returns a constant amplitude sinusoidal function with a linearly increasing frequency over a range of the independent variable.

Format

SWEEP (x,a,x0,f0,x1,f1,dx)

Arguments

x

The independent variable.

You can enter a valid expression for the independent variable such as 2*TIME.

a

The amplitude of the sinusoidal function.

x0

The value of the independent variable at which the function begins.

f0

The initial sweep frequency of the sinusoidal function in units of cycles per units of the independent variable.

x1

The value of the independent variable at which the function ends.

f1

The final sweep frequency in units of cycles per units of the independent variable.

dx

The positive increment defining x0+dx as the value of the value of the independent variable where the sweep function becomes fully active.

Function

SWEEP (x,a,x0,f0,x1,f1,dx) =
     STEP5(x,0,0,dx,1)*a*sin(2Π *freq(x))
where
freq(x) = 
     f0*x                         
x ≤ x0
     f0*(x-x0)+((f1-f0)/(2*(x1-x0)))(x-x0)2+f0*x0
x0 < x < x1
     f1*x-(f1-f0)/2)*(x1+x0)     
x ≥ x1
