Experiment No: 4
Aim: Study of linear convolution and circular convolution

Program:
Linear Convolution
% Prompt user for input signals
x1 = input('Enter signal x1 as a row vector: ');
x2 = input('Enter signal x2 as a row vector: ');

% Compute linear convolution

y_linear = conv(x1, x2);

% Display linear convolution result

disp('Linear Convolution Result:');
disp(y_linear);

% Plot input signals and linear convolution output

subplot(3,1,1);
stem(0:length(x1)-1, x1, 'filled');
title('Signal x1');
xlabel('Index');
ylabel('Amplitude');

subplot(3,1,2);
stem(0:length(x2)-1, x2, 'filled');
title('Signal x2');
xlabel('Index');
ylabel('Amplitude');

subplot(3,1,3);
stem(0:length(y_linear)-1, y_linear, 'filled');

xlabel('Index');
ylabel('Amplitude');

Circular Convolution
% Prompt user for input signals
x1 = input('Enter signal x1 as a row vector: ');
x2 = input('Enter signal x2 as a row vector: ');

% Compute circular convolution

y_circular = cconv(x1, x2, length(x1));

% Display circular convolution result

disp('Circular Convolution Result:');
disp(y_circular);

% Plot input signals and circular convolution output

subplot(3,1,1);
stem(0:length(x1)-1, x1, 'filled');
