How to find coordinates of intersecting line?

1 view (last 30 days)
Hi, I have plot which is shown below and there is black (dashed) vertical line in x axis at 3. I need to find the coordinates of intersection between black line and red curve.
clear all; close all;
fs= 8192*2; % sampling frequency
dt = 1/fs; % sample time
T=5; % duration of the signal
Nt = T*fs; % total number of samples
t = 0:dt:T-dt; % time vector
% Source definition
f0 = 1; % frequency at time t = 0s
f1 = 5; % freqeuncy at time t = T
%-------------------------------------------------------
beta = (f1-f0)/T; % beta
finst = f0+beta*t.'; % instantaneous frequency
phi = 2*pi*cumsum(finst)*dt;
figure()
plot(wrapTo2Pi(phi),t,'r');
hold on
xline(3,'--k')
xlabel('phase')
ylabel('s')

n=nnz(diff(z)<-pi);
tc=interp1(phi,t,3+2*pi*(0:n) );
pc=0*tc+3;
hold on; plot(pc,tc,'xb'); hold off

I wonder if the jump discontinuity lines are to be considered part of the curve.

Most probably not. But then take every second value from the "coordinates" array :-)
