Signal Operations

Delay, reorder, resample, and window the signal

You can perform signal operations such as rate conversion, convolution, digital-up and digital-down conversion, phase extraction, DC component removal, peak location, signal padding, and delay addition using blocks and System objects from DSP System Toolbox™.
