Compute the Maximum

This example uses:

Open Script

Compute the maximum of a 3-by-2 matrix input, dsp_examples_u, using the Maximum block.

Open the model.

model = 'ex_maximum_ref';
open_system(model)

The Mode parameter of the Maximum block is set to Value and Index. The block processes the input as a two-channel signal with a frame size of three.

Run the model.

sim(model)

Display the input and output values.

disp('Data Input')
disp(dsp_examples_u)
disp('Maximum Values')
disp(max_val)
disp('Max Index Array')
disp(max_index)

In the Value and Index mode, the block outputs:

  • The maximum value over each frame of data along the channel.

  • The index of the maximum value in the respective frame.

Close the model.
