Periodically average input signal over specified time
Control / Filters
This block periodically averages a continuous input signal over the specified
averaging time
. The output
is updated at the end of each averaging period.
Mathematically, this block corresponds to a moving average filter where the output is
processed by a zero-order hold:
However, the implementation of Periodic Average filter is computationally less expensive and more accurate than the continuous Moving Average filter.
The block is suited to determine average conduction losses of power semiconductors. To determine average switching losses, use the Periodic Impulse Average.
