SIGNALS IN MATLAB

Results (codes, tables, graphs, questions & ans)

What type of discrete-time signal was created? What does the axis function do?

The axis function is used to set the limits on both the minimum and maximum values on both
the x and y axis in the unit phase discrete time signal.

Make a stem plot of X2 in another figure. What type of signal is X2?

X2 is a real exponential discrete-time signal.

What does the function ‘find’ accomplish? What operator is represented by the two successive equality
signs?

The feature ‘find’ searches for the location of the zero value in the ‘n-matrix’, and the operator
‘ea’ represents two consecutive equality signs that define equality.
How does X3 differ from X2?

Both X2 and X3 are true exponential signals, with the exception that X3 has all of the other signals
pointing in the same direction.
Do an array multiplication of X1 and X2 and name the product as X4. Plot the result. Describe the
resulting signal

The resultant signal is the product of combining the unit phase and the true exponential signal.
Is X6 periodic? How many samples does one period of X6 have?
 The resultant signal is the product of combining the unit phase signal and the true exponential
signal.

How does this signal compare with X6? Are they the same? Why or why not?

The graph of the signal is exactly the same.

Should ‘theta’ be in degrees or radians? How does the signal X 8 compare with X6?

Since the graph is expressed in trigonometric form, theta should be in degrees. Both X 8 and X6 are
both sinusoidal although X6 is symmetrical unlike X8 which means X8 has a phase angle.
Obtain and make a stem plot (X9) of the product of X4 and X6. Describe the resulting signal.

Since X4 is the product of integrating a unit phase and a real exponential signal and X 6 is a sinusoidal
signal, the resulting signal represented the mixture of all three signals (unit step, real exponential, and sinusoidal
signal)
Compare the sound for the last two frequency. Did you get what you expected? Why or why not?

The sound of the last two frequencies is nearly identical, which I didn’t expect because when I was
finishing this part of the exponent, I found that as the frequency rises, both the pitch and the volume, intensity of
the sound increases, so I expected to hear a higher pitch sound.
How does the sound of Y2(t) differ from that of Y1(t)?

All Y2 and Y1 have a cracking sound, but Y1 has a quitter sound than Y2, which we can hear a second after it
is played, while Y2 can be heard directly after is it played.
What is the sound like? What is the signal called?

It sounds like a radio searching for a frequency or signal. This is known as a radio static warning.
