function outsig = itdsin(fc,itd,fs)
%ITDSIN Generate a sinusoid with a interaural time difference
% Usage: outsig = itdsin(fc,itd,fs)
%
% Input parameters:
% fc : carrier frequency of the sinusoid (Hz)
% itd : ITD of the left signal, positive or negative (ms)
% fs : sampling rate (Hz)
%
% Output parameters:
% outsig : two channel 1 s long sinusoid
%
% `itdsin(fc,itd,fs)` generates a sinusoid with a interaural time difference
% of *itd* and a frequency of *fc*.
%
% The output is scaled to have a maximum value of 1-eps.

error('%s: f must be a positive scalar.',upper(mfilename));

% ------ Computation --------------------------
% Create a one second time
t = (1:fs)/fs;
% Right signal
sigr = sin(2*pi*fc.*t);
% Time shift in samples
itdsamples = ceil(fs * abs(itd)/1000);
% Left signal with ITD shift
sigl = [zeros(1,itdsamples) sin(2*pi*fc.*t(1:end-itdsamples))];
% Combine left and right signal to outsig
% Check if we have a positive or negative ITD and switch left and right signal
% for negative ITD
if itd<0
outsig = [sigr' sigl'];
else
outsig = [sigl' sigr'];
end
% Scale outsig
outsig = outsig / (max(abs(outsig(:)))+eps);
