Parameters

power
Type: SystemDouble
Signal power, in watts.
frequency
Type: SystemDouble
Signal frequency, in hertz.
lowerBandwidthLimit
Type: SystemDouble
A value specifying the (negative) offset, in hertz, from the central frequency, to the lower limit of the signal's bandwidth.
upperBandwidthLimit
Type: SystemDouble
A value specifying the (positive) offset, in hertz, from the central frequency, to the upper limit of the signals' bandwidth.
noiseTemperature
Type: SystemDouble
The equivalent noise temperature, in kelvin, spread out over the noise bandwidth.
lowerNoiseBandwidthLimit
Type: SystemDouble
The offset to the lower limit of the noise bandwidth, in hertz.
upperNoiseBandwidthLimit
Type: SystemDouble
The offset to the upper limit of the noise bandwidth, in hertz.

Return Value

Type: Signal
The newly created signal.
Exceptions
ExceptionCondition
ArgumentOutOfRangeException

Thrown when:

  • frequency, power, or noiseTemperature is negative
  • the computed LowerBandwidthFrequency (frequency + lowerBandwidthLimit) is negative
  • the frequency Bandwidth (upperBandwidthLimit - lowerBandwidthLimit) is zero
  • lowerNoiseBandwidthLimit causes the lowest frequency of the noise to be negative (frequency + lowerNoiseBandwidthLimit must be positive)
  • lowerNoiseBandwidthLimit is greater than upperNoiseBandwidthLimit (note that lowerNoiseBandwidthLimit is usually negative)
