Decimation factor, specified as a positive integer scalar, or as a 1-by-2 or 1-by-3 vector of positive integers. The default is 100.

When you set this parameter to a scalar, the block chooses the decimation factors for each of the three filtering stages.

When you set this parameter to a 1-by-2 vector, the block bypasses the third filter stage and sets the decimation factor of the first and second filtering stages to the values in the first and second vector elements, respectively. Both elements of Decimation factor must be greater than 1.

When you set this parameter to a 1-by-3 vector, the ith element of the vector specifies the decimation factor for the ith filtering stage. The first and second elements of Decimation factor must be greater than 1, and the third element must be 1 or 2.

When you select this check box, the block designs filters with the minimum order that meets the requirements specified in these parameters:

When you clear this check box, the block designs filters with orders that you specify in Number of sections of CIC decimator, Order of CIC compensation filter stage, and Order of third filter stage. The filter designs meet the passband and stopband frequency specifications that you set in Two sided bandwidth of input signal (Hz), Source of stopband frequency, and Stopband frequency (Hz). By default, this check box is selected.

Number of sections in the CIC decimator, specified as a positive integer scalar. This parameter applies when you clear the Minimum order filter design check box. The default is 3.

Order of the CIC compensation filter stage, specified as a positive integer scalar. This parameter applies when you clear the Minimum order filter design check box. The default is 12.

Order of the third filter stage, specified as an even positive integer scalar. When you specify Decimation factor as a 1-by-2 vector, the block ignores the value of Order of third filter stage because the block bypasses the third filter stage. This parameter applies when you clear the Minimum order filter design check box. The default is 10.

Two sided bandwidth of the input signal, specified as a positive integer scalar. The block sets the passband frequency of the cascade of filters to half the value that you specify in this parameter. Set the value of this parameter to less than Input sample rate/Decimation factor. When you select the Inherit sample rate from input check box, then set this value to less than ((1/Ts) / Decimation factor), where Ts is the sample time of the input signal. The default is 200 kHz.

Source of the stopband frequency, specified as Auto or Property. The default is Auto.

When you set this parameter to Auto, the block places the cutoff frequency of the cascade filter response at approximately F_c = SampleRate / M/2 Hz, where M is the total decimation factor specified in Decimation factor. SampleRate is computed as 1/ Ts, where Ts is the sample time of the input signal. The block computes the stopband frequency as F_stop = F_c + (TW / 2). TW is the transition bandwidth of the cascade response, computed as 2×(F_c–F_p), where the passband frequency, F_p, equals Bandwidth/2.

When you set this parameter to Property, specify the source in Stopband frequency (Hz).

Stopband frequency, specified as a double-precision positive scalar. This parameter applies when you set the Source of stopband frequency to Property. The default is 150 kHz.

Passband ripple of the cascade response, specified as a double-precision positive scalar. When you select the Minimum order filter design, the block designs the filters so that the cascade response meets the passband ripple that you specify in Passband ripple of cascade response (dB). This parameter applies when you select the Minimum order filter design. The default is 0.1 dB.

Stopband attenuation of the cascade response, specified as a double-precision positive scalar. When you select the Minimum order filter design, the block designs the filters so that the cascade response meets the stopband attenuation that you specify in Stopband attenuation of cascade response (dB). This parameter applies when you select the Minimum order filter design. The default is 60.

Oscillator type, specified as one of the following:

Center frequency of the input signal, specified as a double-precision positive scalar that is less than or equal to half the sample rate. The block downconverts the input signal from the passband center frequency, which you specify in Center frequency of input signal (Hz), to 0 Hz. This parameter applies when you set Type of oscillator to Sine wave or NCO. The default is 14e6.

Number of NCO accumulator bits, specified as an integer scalar in the range [1 128]. This parameter applies when you set Type of oscillator to NCO. The default is 16.

Number of NCO quantized accumulator bits, specified as an integer scalar in the range [1 128]. This value must be less than the value you specify in Number of NCO accumulator bits. This parameter applies when you set Type of oscillator to NCO. The default is 12.

When you select this check box, a number of dither bits specified in Number of NCO dither bits applies dither to the NCO signal. This parameter applies when you set Type of oscillator to NCO. By default, this check box is selected.

Number of NCO dither bits, specified as an integer scalar smaller than the number of accumulator bits that you specify in Number of NCO accumulator bits. This parameter applies when you set Type of oscillator to NCO and select the Dither control for NCO. The default is 4.

When you select this check box, sample rate is computed as N/ Ts, where N is the frame size of the input signal, and Ts is the sample time of the input signal. When you clear this check box, the block’s sample rate is the value specified in Input sample rate (Hz). By default, this check box is selected.

Input sample rate, specified as a positive scalar value, greater than or equal to twice the value of the Center frequency of input signal (Hz). The default is 30 MHz. This parameter applies when you clear the Inherit sample rate from input check box.
