NormalNoise ​

Generates Gaussian (normal) random noise with mean mu and standard deviation sigma at each clock tick.

Uses a seeded RNG for reproducibility: the same seed and simulation time produce the same output sequence.

Usage ​

DiscreteComponents.NormalNoise(mu=0, sigma=1, seed=1)

Parameters: ​

NameDescriptionUnitsDefault value
muMean–0
sigmaStandard deviation–1
seedRNG seed–1

Connectors ​

  • y - This connector represents a real signal as an output from a component (RealOutput)

Variables ​

NameDescriptionUnits
td–
