callLettersToPICode

Convert North American call letters to binary PI code

Syntax

picode = callLettersToPICode(rbdsgen,callLetters)

Description

picode = callLettersToPICode(rbdsgen,callLetters) returns the 16-bit program identification (PI) code that corresponds to callLetters.

Examples

Generate Program Identification Code for RBDS Waveform

Use the callLettersToPICode object function to generate the PI code for an RBDS waveform.

rbdsgen = comm.RBDSWaveformGenerator;
callLetters = "WLIR";
callLettersToPICode(rbdsgen,callLetters)

ans = 1×16

     0     1     1     1     0     0     1     0     1     0     0     1     0     1     0     1

Input Arguments

rbdsgen — RBDS waveform generator object

comm.RBDSWaveformGenerator object

RBDS waveform generator object, specified as a comm.RBDSWaveformGenerator object.

callLetters — Radio station call letters

four-character string or character vector | three-character string or character vector

Radio station call letters, specified as a three- or four-character string or character vector. Acceptable call letter formats are three-character or four-character vectors beginning with 'K' or 'W'.

Example: "WLIR" or "KPOA"

Data Types: char | string

Output Arguments

picode — Program identification code

16-bit row vector

Program identification (PI) code, returned as a 16-bit row vector. In North America, the PI code conveys the call letters of the station.
