(8.D.2.4) Convolve
- Catherine Spain
Overview
Vector convolution
Discussion
This module convolves the signals on its input pins a block at a time. It differs from the FIR module because it doesn't maintain any history between blocks. The output is computed by $s[n] = \sum_{k=0}^{M-1} x[n-k] y[k]$, where $x[n]$ is on pin 1 with length $M$ and $y[n]$ is on pin 2, also of length $M$. This operation could be generalized to allow different block sizes if needed.
The parameters shape, skip and length allows control of the range of $n$ that gets calculated. Shape is for quick setting of common ranges. shape = 0: sets skip=0, olen=2*M-1 to compute the full convolution shape = 1: sets skip=M/2, olen=M to compute the center part that has the same length as the inputs. shape = 2: leaves skip and olen to be user-defined. skip: starts storing output at $n = \mathit{skip}$ olen: writes only this many output samples, so $\mathit{skip} <= n < \mathit{skip} + \mathit{olen}$.

M = convolve_module(NAME, SHAPE)
This module implements a partial convolution of the two signals on its
input pins. How much of the convolution to write can be controlled by
the parameters. Also see correlate_module, which is very similar.
Arguments:
NAME - name of the module
SHAPE - enum of standard subset to calculateÂ
