MATLAB program for step waveform generation

Program Code

n=0:5;
y=[ones(1,6)];
stem (n,y);
xlabel ('Time');
ylabel ('Amplitude');
title ('Step Waveform');
grid on;

Output

Explanation of Program Code

clc;

It clears all input and output from the Command Window display giving clean screen. It removes items from workspace, freeing up system memory. After using clc, the scroll bar cannot be used to see the history of functions, but still the up arrow can be used to recall statements from the command history.

clear all;

It removes all variables from the workspace. This frees up system memory.

close all;

It deletes all figures whose handles are not hidden.

n=0:5;

This command creates vector n.

Vector n is given by

n= [0     1       2            3        4        5]

Here vector n is used as x axis.

y=[ones(1,6)];

This command generates step waveform.

stem (n,y);

This command plots n versus the columns of y as stems. . n and y must be vectors or matrices of the same size. Additionally, n can be a row or a column vector and y a matrix with length(n) rows.

This command makes step waveform appear on the screen.

xlabel ('Time');

It labels the x-axis as 'Time'. Each axes graphics object can have one label for the x-, y-, and z-axis. The label appears beneath its respective axis in a two-dimensional plot.

ylabel ('Amplitude');

It labels the y-axis as ' Amplitude. '

title ('Step Waveform');

It outputs the phrase  'Step Waveform' above the figure at the top.

grid on;

It adds major grid lines to the current axes.

Program Code

n=-5:5;
y=[zeros(1,5) 1 zeros(1,5)];
stem (n,y);

n=-5:5;

This command creates vector n.

Vector n is given by

n= [-5    -4    -3    -2    -1     0     1       2       3        4        5]

Here vector n is used as x axis

MATLAB program for sawtooth waveform generation

Program Code

t=0:0.01:4;
y=sawtooth(2*pi*t+pi);
plot (t,y);
axis ([0 4 -5 5]);
xlabel ('Time');
ylabel ('Amplitude');
title ('Sawtooth Waveform');
grid on; 

Output

Explanation of Program Code 

clc;

It clears all input and output from the Command Window display giving clean screen. It removes items from workspace, freeing up system memory. After using clc, the scroll bar cannot be used to see the history of functions, but still the up arrow can be used to recall statements from the command history.

clear all;

It removes all variables from the workspace. This frees up system memory.

close all;

It deletes all figures whose handles are not hidden.

t=0:0.01:4;

Here vector t is created as time axis.

Vector t has 401 elements. The starting element is 0 and the final element is 4. There is an increment of 0.01 between consecutive elements of vector t.

y=sawtooth(2*pi*t+pi);

It creates the sawtooth waveform.

plot (t,y);

It plots all the lines defined by t versus y pairs. That is, it makes the sawtooth waveform appear on the screen.

axis ([0 4 -5 5]);

It sets the limits for the x- and y-axis of the current axes.

Here according to the above command x-axis begins at 0 and ends at 4. Here y-axis begins at -5 and ends at 5.

xlabel ('Time');

It labels the x-axis as 'Time'. Each axes graphics object can have one label for the x-, y-, and z-axis. The label appears beneath its respective axis in a two-dimensional plot.

ylabel ('Amplitude');

It labels the y-axis as ' Amplitude. '

title ('Sawtooth Waveform');

It outputs the phrase  'Sawtooth Waveform' above the figure at the top.

grid on;

It adds major grid lines to the current axes.
