function outsig = ildsin(fc,ild,fs)
%ILDSIN Sinusoid with a interaural level difference (ILD)
% Usage: outsig = itdsin(fc,ild,fs)
%
% Input parameters:
% fc : carrier frequency of the sinusoid (Hz)
% ild : ILD of the right signal, positive or negative (dB)
% fs : sampling rate (Hz)
%
% Output parameters:
% outsig : two channel 1 s long sinusoid
%
% `ildsin(fc,ild,fs)` generates a sinusoid with a interaural level difference
% of *ild* and a frequency of *fc*.
%
% The output is scaled to have a maximum value of 1-eps.

% ------ Checking of input parameters ---------
error(nargchk(3,3,nargin));
if ~isnumeric(fc) || ~isscalar(fc) || fc<0
error('%s: fc must be a positive scalar.',upper(mfilename));
end
if ~isnumeric(ild) || ~isscalar(ild)
error('%s: itd must be a scalar.',upper(mfilename));
end
if ~isnumeric(fs) || ~isscalar(fs) || fs<=0
error('%s: fs must be a positive scalar!',upper(mfilename));
end
% ------ Computation --------------------------
% Create a one second time
t = (1:fs)/fs;
% Left signal
sigl = sin(2*pi*fc.*t);
% Right signal with level difference of ILD
sigr = gaindb(sigl,ild);
% Combine left and right channel
outsig = [sigl' sigr'];
% Scale outsig
outsig = outsig / (max(abs(outsig(:)))+eps);
