Logarithmic amplitude scaling of a signal
Show older comments
I need to logarithmically scale the amplitude a sinesweep signal from
at the starting frequency to
at the lastest frequency (it should be 12 dB per octave).
Is this code wrong? Why if I plot the exponential shape and the scaled signal the profiles does not overlap?
duration_sweep = 2; % Seconds
% Sine sweep frequency range
f_start = 100;
f_end = 10000;
%--------------------------------------------
% Settings sweeptone
duration_final_silence_sweep = 0.1; % Secondi
total_duration_sweep = duration_sweep + duration_final_silence_sweep ;
sweep = sweeptone(duration_sweep,duration_final_silence_sweep,Fs,"SweepFrequencyRange",[f_start f_end]);
% Time axis
t_input = (0:numel(sweep)-1);
% Scaling factor
amp = logspace(log10(0.1*10^-3), log10(10), length(sweep));
% amplitude scaling
out = sweep.*amp';
% Plot
figure(1)
plot (out, 'LineWidth', 1.5)
hold on
plot(t_input, amp)
grid minor

@Lorenzo Lellini, you are also using the length of sweep four your amp but sweep includes the silence duration as indicated in sweeptone documentation.
