Identity Matrix
Generate matrix with ones on main diagonal and ground values elsewhere
Since R2021b
Libraries:
Simulink /
Matrix Operations
Description
The Identity Matrix block outputs an identity matrix, similar to the
MATLAB®
eye
function. The block generates a square or rectangular matrix with ones on
the main diagonal and zeros elsewhere.
Examples
Generate Unit-Diagonal and Identity Matrices
This example shows how to generate a 3-by-6 unit-diagonal matrix and a 5-by-5 identity matrix using the Identity Matrix block.
Ports
Input
Port_1 — Input signal
scalar | vector | matrix
Input signal used to determine dimensions of the output matrix, specified as a scalar, vector, or matrix. When the input signal is an M-by-N matrix, the block generates an M-by-N matrix output with the same sample period as the input. The values in the input matrix are ignored.
Dependencies
To enable this port, select the Inherit output port attributes from input port check box.

| Inherit: Inherit via back propagation
| <data type expression>
Specify the output data type for this block. You can select one of these options:
A rule that inherits a data type, for example,
Inherit: Inherit via back propagation
. When you select this option, the output data type and scaling matches that of the next downstream block.A built-in data type, such as
double
.An expression that evaluates to a valid data type, for example,
fixdt(1,16)
.

Default: 'double' |
Mode — Data type mode
Inherit
(default) | Built in
| Fixed point
| Expression
Select how you would like to specify the data type properties of the Output data type. You can choose:
Inherit
— Specify a rule for inheriting a data type, for example,Inherit: Same as input
.Built in
— Specify a built-in data type, for example,double
.Fixed point
— Specify the fixed-point attributes of the data type.Expression
— Specify an expression that evaluates to a valid data type, for example,fixdt(1,16)
.

Signedness — Signedness of fixed-point data
Signed
(default) | Unsigned
Specify whether the fixed-point data is signed or unsigned.
Signed
data can represent positive and negative values, but
Unsigned
data represents positive values only. For more
information, see Specify Data Types Using Data Type Assistant.
Scaling — Method for scaling fixed-point data
Best precision
(default) | Binary point
Specify the method for scaling your fixed-point data to avoid overflow conditions and minimize quantization errors. For more information, see Specify Data Types Using Data Type Assistant.
Dependencies
To enable this parameter, set Mode to Fixed
point
Word length — Bit size of word that holds quantized integer
16
(default) | integer from 2 to 65,535
Specify the bit size of the word that holds the quantized integer as a positive integer from 2 to 65,535. For more information, see Specify Data Types Using Data Type Assistant.
Dependencies
To enable this parameter, set Mode to Fixed
point
.
Fraction length — Fraction length for fixed-point data type
0
(default) | integer scalar
Specify the fraction length of the fixed-point data type as a positive or negative integer scalar.
Dependencies
To enable this parameter, set Mode to Fixed
point
and Scaling to Binary
point
.
Data type override — Data type override mode
Inherit
(default) | Off
Select the data type override mode for this signal. You can select:
Inherit
— Inherits the data type override setting specified for the model.Off
