Title: Study of signal frequency, spectrum, bandwidth, bit rate, quantization using MATLAB
Performance Task for Lab Report:
**Generate a composite signal using two simple signals as,
x1(t) = A1 cos(2π(C*100)t ) x2(t) = A2 cos(2π(F*100)t)
x3(t) = x1(t) + x2(t)
(a) Select the value of the amplitudes as follows: let A1 = GD and A2 = AF.
(b) Make a plot of x3 over a range of t that will exhibit approximately 2 cycles. Make sure the
plot starts at a negative time so that it will include t = 0, and make sure that you have at least 20
samples per period of the wave.
(c) Plot x3 in frequency domain and calculate its bandwidth.
(d) Quantize x3 in 6 equally distributed levels and provide image for one cycle of the original
signal and quantized signal.

So,
A=1
B=8
C=3
D=7
E=2
F=2
G=3
H=1

A) Here, A1= GD= 37

A2= AF= 12

B) Making a plot of x3:

Matlab codes:

fs=20000;
t = [-0.004:1/fs:0.004];
A1=37;
A2=12;
x1=A1*cos(2*pi*300*t);
x2=A2*cos(2*pi*200*t);
x3=x1+x2;
plot(t,x3);
hold on
grid on
Output:

Figure 1: Output(b)

C) Plotting of x3 in frequency domain and calculating bandwidth:

MATLAB commands:

fs=20000;
t = [-0.004:1/fs:0.004];
A1=37;
A2=12;
x1=A1*cos(2*pi*300*t);
x2=A2*cos(2*pi*200*t);
x3=x1+x2;
plot(t,x3);
hold on
grid on
fx3=fft(x3);
plot(t,abs(fx3),'r');
bandwidth=obw(fx3,fs)
Output:

Figure 2: x3 in frequency domain
