function y = amexpo1s(N,t0,T);
%AMEXPO1S Generate one-sided exponential amplitude modulation.
%	Y = AMEXPO1S(N,T0,T) generates a one-sided exponential
%	amplitude modulation centered on a time T0, and with a 
%	spread proportional to T.
%	This modulation is scaled such that Y(T0)=1.
% 
%	N  : number of points.
%	T0 : arrival time of the exponential	(default : N/2).
%	T  : time spreading			(default : 2*sqrt(N)).
%	Y  : signal.
%
%	Examples:
%	 z=amexpo1s(160);plot(z);
%	 z=amexpo1s(160,20,40);plot(z);

%	See also AMEXPO2S, AMGAUSS, AMRECT, AMTRIANG.
