PolynomialFract32

Overview

Sample-by-sample polynomial nonlinearity

Discussion

Polynomial nonlinearity, computed on a sample by sample basis. The module implements the following equation:

\(y[n]=x[n]^{N-1}c[0]+x[n]^{N-2}c[1]+...+x[n]c[N-2] + c[N-1]\)

where y is the output, x is the input, and c is the array of polynomial coefficients.

Matlab Usage

File Name: polynomial_fract32_module.m 
 M=polynomial_fract32_module(NAME, NUMCOEFFS) 
 Creates a sample-by-sample polynomial nonlinearity for us in the Audio 
 Weaver environment.  The module has a single multi-channel input pin. 
 Arguments: 
    NAME - name of the module. 
    NUMCOEFFS - number of coefficients in the polynomial. 

 The order of the polynomial (the highest power of x) is NUMCOEFFS-1. 
 The polynomial coefficients use the same ordering as the MATLAB 
 polyval function.
