The block implements the operation of selecting an integer part of the input signal. An integer part is understood as the nearest smaller integer (in absolute value). That is, the integer part of a positive number is less than or equal to the number, and the integer part of a negative number is greater than or equal to the number (see Figure):
Figure 1. Demonstration of the block operationAlgorithm for calculating the integer part of the number:
where y(t) is the output signal, u(t) is the input signal of the block, Z is the set of integers. In the case of a vector input signal, the block implements the operation of selecting an integer part of each of the elements of the input vector value.
Inputs
input - input value port.
Outputs
output - output processed value.
Properties
none
Parameters
none
Note:
dimension of the output signal is always equal to the dimension of the input signal.
