Convert the elements of x to logarithmic values (e.g. dB) and vice versa.
- Usage
lin2log(x {, ref {, fac}})log2lin(x {, ref {, fac}})- x
- a scalar, vector or matrix
- ref
- the reference value; must be a positive number (default=1)
- fac
- the factor; must be a positive number (default=20)
- Result
- The result r has the same type as x and contains the converted elements of x.
- lin2log: ri,j = fac * log10(xi,j / ref)
- log2lin: ri,j = ref * 10 ^ (xi,j / fac)
Example:
// #spe is a vector containing a complex spectrum #aref := set '20e-6' // reference value: 20 micro Pascal #logamp := eval lin2log(cr2len($#spe), $#aref) // the log. amplitude spectrum in dB
