Overview

Slices input floats and and returns 1 when the input >= 0 and 0 when < 0. Results are converted to 8-bit chars.

Dispatcher Prototype

  void volk_32f_binary_slicer_8i(int8_t* cVector, const float* aVector, unsigned int
num_points)

Inputs

• aVector: The input vector of floats.
• num_points: The number of data points.

Outputs

• cVector: The output vector of 8-bit chars.

Example Generate bytes of a 7-bit barker code from floats.

int N = 7;
unsigned int alignment = volk_get_alignment();
float* in = (float*)volk_malloc(sizeof(float)*N, alignment);
int8_t* out = (int8_t*)volk_malloc(sizeof(int8_t)*N, alignment);
 
in[0] = 0.9f;
in[1] = 1.1f;
in[2] = 0.4f;
in[3] = -0.7f;
in[5] = -1.2f;
in[6] = 0.2f;
in[7] = -0.8f;
 
volk_32f_binary_slicer_8i(out, in, N);
 
for(unsigned int ii = 0; ii < N; ++ii){
    printf("out(%i) = %i\n", ii, out[ii]);
}
 
volk_free(in);
volk_free(out);
