Identity Matrix

Generate a matrix with ones on the main diagonal and zeros elsewhere.

Library

Description

The Identity Matrix block generates a rectangular matrix with ones on the main diagonal and zeros elsewhere.

When the Inherit output port attributes from input port check box is selected, the input port is enabled, and an M-by-N matrix input generates a sample-based M-by-N matrix output with the same sample period. The values in the input matrix are ignored.

When the Inherit output port attributes from input port check box is not selected, the input port is disabled, and the dimensions of the output matrix are determined by the Matrix size parameter. A scalar value, M, specifies an M-by-M identity matrix, while a two-element vector, [M N], specifies an M-by-N unit-diagonal matrix. The output is sample-based, and has the sample period specified by the Sample time parameter.

Example

Set Matrix size to [3 6] to generate the 3-by-6 unit-diagonal matrix below.

Dialog Box

Inherit output port attributes from input port
Enables the input port when selected. The output inherits its dimensions and sample period from the input.
Matrix size
The number of rows and columns in the output matrix: a scalar M for a square M-by-M output, or a vector [M N] for an M-by-N output. This parameter is disabled when Inherit input port attributes from input port is selected.
Sample time
The discrete sample period of the output. This parameter is disabled when Inherit input port attributes from input port is selected.
Show additional parameters
If selected, additional parameters specific to implementation of the block become visible as shown.

Output data type
Specify the output data type in one of the following ways:
Word length
Specify the word length, in bits, of the fixed-point output data type. This parameter is only visible if Fixed-point is selected for the Output data type parameter.
User-defined data type
Specify any built-in or fixed-point data type. You can specify fixed-point data types using the sfix, ufix, sint, uint, sfrac, and ufrac functions from the Fixed-Point Blockset. This parameter is only visible if User-defined is selected for the Output data type parameter.
Set fractional bits in output to
Specify the scaling of the fixed-point output by either of the following two methods:
Number of fractional bits in output
For fixed-point output data types, specify the number of fractional bits, or bits to the right of the binary point. This parameter is only visible if Fixed-point or User-defined is selected for the Output data type parameter, and if User-defined is selected for the Set fractional bits in output to parameter.
