Generating Square Waves in MATLAB

The document describes the square wave function in MATLAB. It generates a square wave with peaks of ±1 instead of a sine wave. It can generate square waves with different periods and duty cycles specified as a percentage between 0 and 100. Examples are given to generate square waves and illustrate how to specify the period and duty cycle.
