# BasebandRectangularPulse

Source time dependence that describes a baseband rectangular pulse. This produces a pulse that ramps up from zero to a constant amplitude, holds for a specified duration, and then ramps back down. The ramp-up and ramp-down profiles are smooth to avoid numerical artifacts.

# Rise Time

rise_time: The 10%-to-90% rise and fall time in seconds. It is related to the Gaussian standard deviation by rise_time ≈ 2.563 × sigma.

Type: floating-point number

  • Unit: s (default), ps, or fs
  • Constraint: greater than 0
  • Required field

# Temporal Width

twidth: Duration of the rectangular pulse at full amplitude.

Type: floating-point number

  • Unit: s (default), ps, or fs
  • Constraint: greater than 0
  • Required field

# Amplitude

amplitude: Real-valued maximum amplitude of the time dependence.

Type: floating-point number

  • Unit: unitless
  • Constraint: greater than or equal to 0
  • Default: 1

# Phase

phase: Phase of the baseband time dependence. It is fixed at 0.

  • Default: 0

# Offset

offset: Delay of the rising-edge center in units of rise_time.

Type: floating-point number

  • Unit: rise_time
  • Constraint: greater than or equal to 2.5
  • Default: 5
