Differentiation block (Time domain derivative)#

The Differentiation block (Time domain derivative) block calculates the time derivative of the input signal is (1):

(1)#\[ y(t_{n})=\frac{x(t_{n})-x(t_{n-1})}{\Delta t} \]

where:

\(x(t_{n})\), \(y(t_{1})\) - input and output signals at the current calculation step, respectively;

\(x(t_{n-1})\) - input signal at the previous calculation step.
