Multiply by Matrix

Matrix multiplexer/multiplier: y(k) = A x(k)

This block is similar to Multiply Const, the difference being it can handle several inputs and outputs, and the input-to-output relation can be described by the following mathematical equation: y(k) = A x(k) where y in R^n, x in R^m, A in R^n*m

y(k) and x(k) are column-vectors describing the elements on the input port at time step k(this is a sync block with no memory).

Examples for where to use this block include:

• Switch matrices (i.e. switch which ports go where), assuming all ports run on the same rate
• Simulation of static MIMO-Channels (in that case, A is the channel matrix)
• Summing up streams with variable coefficients

This block as one input message port. A message sent to this port will be converted to a std::vector<std::vector<T> >, and then passed on to set_A(). If no conversion is possible, a warning is issued via the logging interface, and A remains unchanged.

Note : It is not possible to change the dimension of the matrix after initialization, as this affects the I/O signature! If a matrix of invalid size is passed to the block, an alert is raised via the logging interface, and A remains unchanged.

Parameters

(R): Run-time adjustable

Type

Only Complex and Float are supported!

Matrix A (R)

The matrix. Matrix A above would be input as ((1, 0, 0), (1, 1,0), (1, 1,1)).

TPP

The tag propagation policy.

All to All: All input tags are passed to all outputs.

One to One: Input tags on input K are passed to output K.

No Propagation: No tags are propagated through the block.

Matrix-Defined: A tag is propagated from input k to output l, if A(l,k) != 0.

Example Flowgraph

Basic Example

A simple example flowgraph would be:

In this case, the inputs are X_0 = 1; X_1 = 3; X_2=7; from a vector source.

The Matrix is set to match A above.

This results in an output Y_0 = 1; Y_1 = 4; Y_2 = 11;.

Tagging Example

To demonstrate the tag propagation, here is another example:

If the One to One TTP is selected the output tagging would look like:

If the All to All TTP is selected the output tagging would look like:

If the Matrix-defined TTP is selected the output tagging would look like:
