Detailed Description

This module contains a single function LALBCVWaveform().

Author: B.S. Sathyaprakash

Prototypes

LALLALBCVWaveform():

signalvec: Output containing the Fourier transform of the inspiral waveform.
params: Input containing binary chirp parameters; it is necessary and sufficent to specify the following parameters of the params structure: psi0, psi3, alpha, fendBCV(fFinal), nStartPad, fLower, tSampling. All other parameters in params are ignored.

LALLALBCVSpinWaveform()

signalvec: Output containing the Fourier transform of the inspiral waveform.
params: Input containing binary chirp parameters; it is necessary and sufficent to specify the following parameters of the params structure: psi0, psi3, alpha1, alpha2, beta, fendBCV(fFinal), nStartPad, fLower, tSampling. All other parameters in params are ignored.

Description

This module can be used to generate detection template family of Buonanno, Chen and Vallisneri [9] ,BCV03b]. There are two modules: LALBCVWaveform. and LALBCVSpinWaveform. The former can be used to generate non-spinning waveforms and the DTF it implements is given in Eq. \eqref{eq_BCV_NonSpinning} and the latter to generate spinning waveforms ( Eq. \eqref{eq_BCV_Spinning}.

Algorithm

A straightforward implementation of the formula. Note that the routine returns Fourier transform of the signal as opposed to most other modules in this package which return time-domain signals. Also, the amplitude is quite arbitrary.

Uses

ASSERT
ATTATCHSTATUSPTR
DETATCHSTATUSPTR
INITSTATUS
RETURN
