peak2peak

Maximum-to-minimum difference

Syntax

y = peak2peak(x)

y = peak2peak(x,dim)

Description

y = peak2peak(x) returns the difference between the maximum and minimum values in x.

y = peak2peak(x,dim) computes the maximum-to-minimum differences of x along dimension dim.

Examples

Peak-to-Peak Difference of Sinusoid

Compute the maximum-to-minimum difference of a 100 Hz sinusoid sampled at 1 kHz.

t = 0:0.001:1-0.001;
x = cos(2*pi*100*t);

y = peak2peak(x)

y = 
2

Peak-to-Peak Difference of Complex Exponential

Create a complex exponential with a frequency of $$\pi /4$$ rad/sample. Find the peak-to-peak difference.

n = 0:99;
x = exp(1j*pi/4*n);

y = peak2peak(x)

y = 
0.0000e+00 + 1.1034e-15i

Peak-to-Peak Differences of 2-D Matrix

Create a matrix in which each column is a 100 Hz sinusoid sampled at 1 kHz with a different amplitude. The amplitude is equal to the column index.

Compute the maximum-to-minimum differences of the columns.

t = 0:0.001:1-0.001;
x = cos(2*pi*100*t)'*(1:4);

y = peak2peak(x)

y = 1×4

Peak-to-Peak Differences of 2-D Matrix Along Specified Dimension

Create a matrix where each row is a 100 Hz sinusoid sampled at 1 kHz with a different amplitude. The amplitude is equal to the row index.

Compute the maximum-to-minimum differences of the rows, specifying the dimension equal to 2 with the dim argument.

t = 0:0.001:1-0.001;
x = (1:4)'*cos(2*pi*100*t);

y = peak2peak(x,2)

y = 4×1

Input Arguments

x — Input array

vector | matrix | N-D array

Input signal, specified as a vector, matrix, or N-D array. For complex-valued inputs, peak2peak identifies the maximum and minimum in complex magnitude. peak2peak then subtracts the complex number with the minimum modulus from the complex number with the maximum modulus.

Example: sin(2*pi*(0:255)/4) specifies a sinusoid as a row vector.

Example: sin(2*pi*[0.1;0.3]*(0:39))' specifies a two-channel sinusoid.

Data Types: double | single
Complex Number Support: Yes

dim — Dimension to operate along

positive integer scalar

Dimension to operate along, specified as a positive integer scalar. By default, peak2peak operates along the first array dimension of x with size greater than 1. For example, if x is a row or column vector, y is a real-valued scalar. If x is an N-by-M matrix with N > 1, y is a 1-by-M row vector containing the maximum-to-minimum differences of the columns of x.

Data Types: double | single

Output Arguments

y — Maximum-to-minimum difference

scalar | vector | matrix | N-D array

Maximum-to-minimum difference, returned as a real-valued scalar, vector, matrix, or N-D array.
