Upsample

Resample input at higher rate by inserting zeros

  • Upsample block

Libraries:
DSP System Toolbox / Signal Operations
DSP System Toolbox HDL Support / Signal Operations

Description

The Upsample block resamples each channel of the Mi-by-N input at a rate L times higher than the input sample rate by inserting L−1 zeros between consecutive samples. Specify the integer L in the Upsample factor, L parameter or through the input port L.

You can use this block inside triggered subsystems when you set the Rate options parameter to Enforce single-rate processing.

Ports

Input

expand all

Specify the input signal as a real or a complex-valued scalar, vector, or a matrix signal.

When you set Input processing to Columns as channels (frame based) and Rate options to Enforce single-rate processing, the input can be a variable-size signal. When the input is a variable-size signal, the frame size (number of rows) and the number of channels (columns) of the signal can change during simulation.

This port is unnamed until you set Upsample factor source to Input port. (since R2023a)

Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | Boolean | fixed point
Complex Number Support: Yes

Since R2023a

Specify the upsample factor L as a positive integer less than or equal to the value you specify in the Maximum upsample factor, Lmax parameter.

Dependency

To enable this port, set the Upsample factor source parameter to Input port.

Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32

Output

expand all

The Upsample block outputs a signal that has the same data type and complexity as the input signal. The size of the output depends on the value of the upsample factor and the option you select in the Rate options parameter.

If you set Upsample factor, L to L and Rate options to:

  • Enforce single-rate processing –– The block maintains the input sample rate by increasing the output frame size by a factor of L.

  • Allow multirate processing –– The block resamples the signal such that the output sample rate is L times faster than the input sample rate. The output signal has the same frame size as the input signal.

When you input the upsample factor through the input port L, the Rate options parameter is automatically set to Enforce single-rate processing. In this case, the block maintains the input sample rate at the output by increasing the output frame size by a factor of L. (since R2023a)

The output is a variable-size signal when one or both of these conditions are met:

  • Input is a variable-size signal.

  • Upsample factor is input through the port L.

Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | Boolean | fixed point

Parameters

expand all

Since R2023a

Specify the upsample factor through one of these options:

  • Dialog parameter –– The block enables the Upsample factor, L parameter on the block dialog box.

  • Input port –– The block enables the input port L through which you can specify the upsample factor.

Specify the upsample factor L by which to increase the input sample rate as a positive integer.

Dependency

To enable this parameter, set Upsample factor source to Dialog parameter. (since R2023a)

Specify the sample offset D as an integer in the range [0, L−1].

Use the Sample offset (0 to L−1) parameter to delay the output samples by a specific number of sample periods. Doing so enables you to select any of the L possible output phases. The value you specify in the Sample offset (0 to L−1) parameter must be an integer in the range 0D<(L1).

When you input the upsample factor through the input port L, the Sample offset (0 to L−1) parameter is not enabled in the block dialog box. In this case, the sample offset D is automatically set to 0. (since R2023a)

Dependency

To enable this parameter, set Upsample factor source to Dialog parameter. (since R2023a)

Since R2023a

Specify the maximum upsample factor Lmax as a positive integer greater than or equal to 1. The upsample factor you specify through the input port L must be less than or equal to Lmax.

Dependency

To enable this parameter, set Upsample factor source to Input port.

Specify how the block should process the input. You can set this parameter to one of these options:

  • Columns as channels (frame based) — When you select this option, the block treats each column of the input as a separate channel. In this mode, the block can perform single-rate or multirate processing.

  • Elements as channels (sample based) — When you select this option, the block treats each element of the input as a separate channel. In this mode, the block always performs multirate processing.

Dependency

To enable this parameter, set Upsample factor source to Dialog parameter. (since R2023a)

When you set Upsample factor source to Input port, the Input processing parameter is automatically set to Columns as channels (frame based). (since R2023a)

Specify the method that the block uses to upsample the input. You can select one of the following options:

  • Enforce single-rate processing — When you select this option, the block maintains the input sample rate by increasing the output frame size by a factor of L. To select this option, you must set the Input processing parameter to Columns as channels (frame based).

  • Allow multirate processing — When you select this option, the block resamples the signal such that the output sample rate is L times faster than the input sample rate.

Dependency

To enable this parameter, set Upsample factor source to Dialog parameter. (since R2023a)

When you set Upsample factor source to Input port, the Rate options parameter is automatically set to Enforce single-rate processing. (since R2023a)

Specify the value with which the block is initialized for cases of nonzero latency as a scalar, vector, or a matrix. The scalar value appears in the output as the sample D+1. If this parameter is set to a vector or a matrix, the size of this parameter should be the same as that of the input. This parameter appears only when you configure the block to perform multirate processing.

Dependencies

To enable this parameter, set Rate options to Allow multirate processing.
