(8.D.1.2) SineGenControlFract32
Overview
Sine wave generator with frequency taken from a control pin
Discussion
Sine wave generator in which the frequency is taken from an input pin. The module requires setting sample rate and blocksize as input arguments. If the module is instantiated with the optional ISQUAD set to 1, the module will act as a quadrature sine oscillator, with the single output pin sending out the quadrature signal in interleaved form. In quadrature mode, the output contains two interleaved channels. The first channel represents the real portion of the oscillator (cosine) and the second channel represents the imaginary portion (sine). When using the quadrature output, a Deinterleave module can be used following the module to separate the sine and cosine outputs.
Internally, the module uses complex rotation around the unit circle to achieve the sine and cosine outputs. The complex vector [stateReal stateImag] has unity magnitude and is repeatedly multiplied by another unity magnitude complex vector [incReal incImag]. [incReal incImag] is computed at the start of each block process using the value on the input pin. Only the first sample from the input pin is used as the frequency and this frequency is applied across the entire block.
[stateReal stateImag] represents the instantaneous phase with stateReal representing the cosine output and stateImag representing the sine output. The initial values of [stateReal and stateImag] are determined by the startPhase parameter. startPhase is specified in degrees. The rotation vector [incReal incImag] determines the frequency of the oscillator: $\mathrm{incReal} + j \mathrm{incImag} = e^{\frac{j 2 \pi \mathrm{freq}}{\mathrm{sampleRate}}}$

File Name: sine_gen_control_fract32_module.m
M=sine_gen_control_fract32_module(NAME, SR, BLOCKSIZE, ISQUAD)
Creates a sine wave generator with a control input pin. This
module has a floating-point input pin that specifies the frequency in
Hz and a fract32 output pin with the generated signal. Arguments:
NAME - name of the module.
SR - sample rate
BLOCKSIZE - number of samples per output channel.
ISQUAD - An optional Boolean forth argument specifies that this
is a quadrature oscillator with a stereo output pin. The
first output channel is the cosine portion; the second
output channel is the sine portion.
