The input signal can be real or complex and single-channel, in the form of a waveform, or multichannel, in the form of an array of waveforms. If you wire an array of real waveforms to time signal in, LabVIEW selects the Extract Multiple Tone Information N Chan instance by default. If you wire an array of complex waveforms to time signal in, LabVIEW selects the Extract Multiple Tone Information N Chan (CDB) instance by default.
A real multiple tone signal can be expressed as shown in the following equation:
where Ai, fi, and i are the amplitude, frequency, and phase, respectively, of the ith tone of a multiple tone signal with N tones and Fs is the sample rate in samples per second of the input waveform signal.
A complex multiple tone signal can be expressed as shown in the following equation:
where Ai, fi, and i are the amplitude, frequency, and phase, respectively, of the ith tone of a multiple tone signal with N tones and Fs is the sample rate in samples per second of the input waveform signal.
For a real signal, the frequency range is (min frequency, max frequency) = (0, Fs/2). For a complex signal, the frequency range is (min frequency, max frequency) = (–Fs/2, Fs/2).
