Description

The DiscreteIntegral block implements a discrete integrator. The output is an approximation of the integral of the input signal. Various integration methods are supported.

Forward Euler method is given by

x(k) = x(k-1) + step*u(k-1)

Backward Euler method is given by

x(k) = x(k-1) + step*u(k)

Heun (Trapezoidal) method is given by

x(k) = x(k-1) + step*[u(k-1)+u(k)]/2

This block supports double and complex data types.

yes/no

The feedthrough property of the second input (if present) is always true. That of the first input depends on the choice of the method: it is false only in case of "forward Euler".
