EXPERIMENT-1
OBJECTIVE: To familiarize with MATLAB and its tools and to plot
periodic signals.

a) Plot a sine wave using MATLAB with amplitude =3 and frequency =5.
Take time axis as per your wish.

b) Plot a square wave using MATLAB. Total 10 pulses within duration of


20 seconds. Take pulse widths as per your wish.

THEORY:

Periodic signals are signals that repeat their waveform over a fixed time
interval, known as the period. The frequency of a periodic signal is
defined as the reciprocal of the period.

Sinusoidal signals are a very common type of periodic signal and have a
waveform that follows a sine function. They are characterized by their
amplitude, frequency, and phase. Amplitude refers to the maximum
distance a wave oscillates from its equilibrium position. Frequency is the
inverse of the period and represents the number of cycles per unit time.
Sinusoidal signals are widely used in electronics, signal processing,
communications, and control systems. We use the sin() function to
generate the sin signal.

Square waves are another common type of periodic waveform,


characterized by an instantaneous transition between two voltage levels.
Ideal square waves switch between a high and low state with no
transition time. We use the square() function to generate the square
wave signal.

We can generate a graph using the plot() function which is available in


MATLAB.

Discussion on Result:

Understanding periodic signals and their characteristics has a very


important practical significance and application. The plotted sine wave
appears as a smooth, continuous waveform oscillating between peak
positive and negative amplitudes. The waveform compresses in time
when the frequency is increased, and stretches out when frequency is
decreased. The plotted square wave shows abrupt vertical transitions
between high and low levels. The duty cycle of the square signal was
50%.The difficulties faced was as I was using MATLAB for the first time
I did not know all the functions and the syntax of MATLAB. By
observing these waves in a graphical manner, I gained a deeper
understanding of their characteristics and the effects of parameter
changes.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, sine waves and square waves of certain frequencies and


amplitudes were successfully generated using MATLAB programming
techniques. The sine waves were produced using the inbuilt sin()
function, with the frequency modified by changing the argument input.
The square waves were produced using the inbuilt square() function.

Overall, this experiment provided practical experience in utilizing


MATLAB’s numerical programming environment to synthesize basic
periodic waveforms.
