Technical background
The NRZ Pulse Generator component produces rectangular non-return to zero (NRZ) electrical pulses with the following edge shapes:

where c is the rise time coefficient and c is the fall time coefficient and T is the bit period. The time points t and t , together with c and c , are numerically
r f 1 2 r f
set to generate pulses that align with the values of the parameters Rise time and Fall time

The range of the pulse amplitude is determined from either the Minimum and Maximum parameters or the DC Bias and Peak Amplitude parameters.
Example settings for each parameter set are shown in Figures 1 and 2.
