Fixed point coder log10 implementation

10 views (last 30 days)
I am using 20*log10(val) to get power in a dB
y = 20*log10(3)
But When i am using matlab coder to convert the in c/c++ code.I am gettig an error
Function 'log10' is not defined for values of class 'embedded.fi'.
Can someone help me with alternate way of doing dB calculation.
Thank you

qsb = fixed.Quantizer(numerictype(1,32,24));
y0 = quantize(qsb,20*fi(log(double(x)),1,32,24)/fi(log(double(10)),1,32,24)); % log(x)/log(10) for log base 10 i.e. log10
y1 = 20*log10(x);

The function "log10" is supported for code generation in the latest version (R2020b) of MATLAB. You can find the list of supported functions in the below page :

I made a test and I don't see the expected result
I am still getting the error following error
??? Function 'log10' is not defined for values of class 'embedded.fi'.
My question - did you verify log10 ?
Below is the matlab version

May I know what is the difference ?
Why No Fraction length ?
How did you arrive to the conclusion ?
what if y = 20*fi(log(double(x)),1,16,FL) is considerd ?if FL is 16- we get overflow but correct conversion value
Can please share the explanation in case of WL = 8,16,24,32,64- what should be the FL ?
What is range , slope , bias , resolution & precision in that case.
When do we see Overflow and Underflow . Why double is considerd that unsupported in fixed point converter?
I think log (Natural logarithm) is unsupported. We need common logarithm base 10.
How enable logging Mode fipref ? How it help me in verification
Can you please help?Thank you!

I found the right implementation -
qsb = fixed.Quantizer(numerictype(1,32,24));
y0 = quantize(qsb,20*fi(log(double(x)),1,32,24)/fi(log(double(10)),1,32,24)); % log(x)/log(10) for log base 10 i.e. log10
y1 = 20*log10(x);
Question - Matlab fixed point suggestion using fi(value) is not reliable .I don't know why it suggest that results in overflow.
You can try fi(3)
WL =16
FL= 13
Signedness =1
Try , you can see overflow. For me its not clear . Please help me
Thanks
