LimiterTest

Test harness for the Limiter component that constrains signals to specified bounds.

This test component creates a signal chain that feeds a high-amplitude sine wave through an integrator and then into a limiter with bounds at -3 and 3. The limiter constrains the integrated sine wave output to stay within the specified bounds, demonstrating how signal limiting works in practice. The test includes verification of expected output values.

Usage

BlockComponents.LimiterTest()
