 Lab 6 : Convolution

1.1.1Lab Exercise: Convolution of sequences

In this section, we will apply the above equation to calculate the convolution of two sequences and to
examine one of the important properties of convolution.

Given the following two sequences:

x[n]= {1,2,1,2} h[n]= {0,1,2,3,4,1,1} Where _ indicates the zero position.

a) Write a Matlab function ‘my_conv’ that will convolve the signal

x[n] with the system impulse response h[n] and produce the
output y[n]. Plot the output y[n] on a graph with correct axis.

%% User defined function to find linear convolution

%Xin =input function ,Hin=impulse response ,
%H_start=impulse h[n] zero location
%X_start=x[n] zero location
function cnv = my_conv(Xin,Hin,X_start,H_start)

L=(-X_start)+(-H_start):length(Hin)-(H_start+1)+length(Xin)-(X_start+1);
cnv =zeros(1,length(L));

for i=1:length(Xin)

temp=Xin(i).*[zeros(1,i-1) , Hin , zeros(1,length(Xin)-i)];

cnv=cnv+temp;

end

subplot(411);stem(Xin);title('x[n]')
subplot(412);stem(Hin);title('h[n]')
subplot(413);stem(cnv);title('y[n] user defined')

default=conv(Xin,Hin);
subplot(414);stem(cnv);title('y[n] default')

if(cnv)==default

end

b) Compare your result with built in function of Matlab ‘conv’.

Matlab’s Function:

b) If x[n] starts from -1 and h[n] starts from -2 then what will be the result
of convolution using ‘my_conv’ and ‘conv’?

With my_conv:

 With built in conv we can see above.

Both have same results

d) Convolution of x[n]={-1 0 1} with h[n]={1 2 1} results in y[n] ={-1 -2 0 2 1}.

Verify this by using the function ‘my_conv’.

Conclusion:
In this lab we learnt about convolution in detail and we were able to develop our own
convolution function in which we learnt it practically and in depth, it was an interesting
lab.
