function s = sig_linsweep(fs, N, range)
%SIG_LINSWEEP Create a linear frequency sweep with constant magnitude spectrum
% Usage: s = sig_linsweep(fs, N, range)
%
% S = sig_linsweep(FS, N) returns a sweep of length N with normalized
% amplitude and sampling rate FS with a perfectly constant magnitude
% spectrum. It covers all frequencies from 0 to FS/2 and runs from
% the first to the last sample.
%
% S = sig_linsweep(FS, N, RANGE) returns a sweep of length N with
% normalized amplitude and a sampling rate of FS and a perfectly
% constant magnitude spectrum. The signal covers all frequencies
% from 0 to FS/2. The sweep starts at sample RANGE(1)
% and ends at sample RANGE(2), i.e., RANGE must be an array
% with two positive elements with 0 < RANGE(1) < RANGE(2) <= N.
% A tail is encountered before and after the actual sweep range.
%
% EXAMPLE 1: Create a perfect sweep and display its spectrogram:
%
% fs = 44100; % sampling rate of 44100 Hz
% s = sig_linsweep(fs, 4*fs) % 4 secs sweep
% spectrogram(s, 256, 128, 256, fs, 'yaxis');
% sound(s,fs);
%
% EXAMPLE 2: Create a perfect sweep in a range:
%
% fs = 44100; % sampling rate of 44100 Hz
% s = sig_linsweep(fs, 4*fs, [fs+1,2*fs]); % 4 secs with sweep
% % from fs+1 to 2*fs
% spectrogram(s, 256, 128, 256, fs, 'yaxis');
% sound(s,fs);
%
% To create a continuous measurement stimulus, you have to stack as
% many length N periods together as you need. Considering the sampling
% rate fs, you have to repeat the sweep period t*fs/N times to get a
% signal length of t seconds. Make sure t*fs/N is an integer.
