This figure shows how the multiband combiner algorithm processes input signal data.
When the output sample rate is greater than the input sample rate, the input signal is interpolated to avoid distortion in the frequency-shifted signal. Each column of the input signal is frequency-shifted by the corresponding value specified in theFrequency offsets (Hz)
parameter. The frequency-shifted signals are then added together into a single channel output signal. Each channel in the input must have the same number of samples.
TheRate optionsparameter enables operation of the block in single-rate mode or multirate mode. For single-rate mode, the output frame rate equals the input frame rate. For multirate mode, the output frame rate is increased by the ratio of the interpolation and decimation factors (that is, byL/M). The interpolation and decimation factors are computed as[L,M] =rat
(RO/RI).
When the algorithm is configured to automatically compute the output sample rate, the output sample rate is computed asRO=RI×L/M
