function outsig = bmsin(fc,mf,fs)
%BMSIN Generate a binaural modulated sinus
% Usage: outsig = bmsin(fc,mf,fs)
%
% Input parameters:
% fc : carrier frequency of the sinus (Hz)
% mf : binaural modulation frequency (Hz)
% fs : sampling rate (Hz)
%
% Output parameters:
% outsig : $fs \times 2$ sinusoid signal
%
% `bmsin(fc,mf,fs)` generates an binaural modulated sinusoid with a
% carrier frequency of *f* and a frequency moving around the two ears of
% *mf*.

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

end
% ------ Computation --------------------------
% Create a one second time
t = (1:fs)/fs;
% Left signal
sigl = sin(2*pi*fc.*t);
% Right signal with amplitude modulation
sigr = sin(2*pi*fc.*t + sin(2*pi*mf.*t));
outsig = [sigl' sigr'];
% Scale outsig
outsig = outsig / (max(abs(outsig(:)))+eps);
