How to plot a Continuous Time Sequence and Discrete Time Sequence in Matlab

1. For Continuous Time Sequence:

       Use the function:  plot(X-axis, Y-axis)

         For example to plot a parabolic function p(t)=  At^2 for t>=0

                                                                                   0        for t<0

          Code:

         %UNIT PARABOLIC FUNCTION

t=linspace(-20,20,20);      %range of X-asis

A=1;                  %amplitude of the function for A=1 it is called unit parabolic function

p=[t>=0].*(A.*t.^2)/2;     %parabola equation as defined above

subplot(1,2,1);                  %the graph occupies 1st position in 1x2 grid

plot(t,p); %plot(X-axis is represented here as t, Y-axis is represented by p here)

xlabel('t---->')                 %naming the x-axis in the graph

ylabel('p(t)---->');           %naming the y-axis in the graph

title('Unit parabolic Signal'); %title of the graph

grid on; 

 The output graph is shown below:

 

2. For Discrete Time Sequence:

       Use the function:  stem(X-axis, Y-axis)

         For example to plot a parabolic function p(t)=  At^2 for t>=0

                                                                                    0       for t<0

          Code:

%UNIT PARABOLIC FUNCTION

t=linspace(-20,20,20);      %range of X-asis

A=1;        %amplitude of the function for A=1 it is called unit parabolic function

p=[t>=0].*(A.*t.^2)/2;     %parabola equation as defined above

subplot(1,2,1);                  %the graph occupies 2nd position in 1x2 grid

stem(t,p); %stem(X-axis is represented here as t, Y-axis is represented by p here)

xlabel('t---->')                 %naming the x-axis in the graph

ylabel('p(t)---->');           %naming the y-axis in the graph

title('Unit parabolic Signal'); %title of the graph

grid on; 

 The output graph is shown below: 



So from the above two examples it is clear that we can generate the continuous time graph using plot function and discrete time graph using stem function for the same function keeping all other lines of code same.

PN Sequence Generator Circuit Design in Multisim

 I tried doing a PN Sequence generator using a shift register in Multisim but it didn't work. However this one with d flip flops and xor gate did work somewhat. Here is the circuit.       Components Required:      1. 4D Flip Flops      2. XOR Gate      3. Function Generator for Clock Pulses      4. Oscilloscope       Circuit Design  :        Output:- Red Square waves- Clock Pulses Blue waves- PN sequence Hope this helps!

Convolution of two signals using conv() in Matlab

We use the conv(x1,x2) function in Matlab to perform convolution of two discrete signals. For example, to perform the convolution of two discrete time sequences x1 (n) = {1, 0, 1,2}  and x2 (n) = {1, 2, 4, 6}. Code:  x1=[1,0,1,2]; %1st sequence N1=length(x1); %stores length of 1st sequence n1=0:1:N1-1; %range of x axis for 1st graph of 1st sequence subplot(1,3,1); % in a 1x3 grid, 1st sequence occupies the 1st grid stem(n1,x1,'linewidth',1.5); %to plot the sequence specifying time axis, signal and line width xlabel('n1----->'); %title of x axis ylabel('x1----->'); %title of y axis grid on; x2=[1,2,4,6]; %2nd sequence N2=length(x2);    %stores length of 2nd sequence n2=0:1:N2-1;  %range of x axis for 2nd graph of 2nd sequence subplot(1,3,2);  % in a 1x3 grid, 2nd sequence occupies the 2nd grid stem(n2,x2,'red','linewidth',1.5);  %to plot the sequence specifying time axis,signal,line width and colour xlabel('n2----->'); % title of
