PERIODIC AND APERIODIC SIGNALS
AIM: Generation of periodic and aperiodic signals.
SOFTWARE USED: MATLAB 9.5.7(2017a)
THEORY: Periodic Signals: A signal is said to be periodic if it is repeated over a cycle of
time or a regular interval of time.
Following are the periodic signals generated:
(i)Sine wave
Syntax: x1=sin(t);
(ii)Cosine wave
Syntax: x2=cos(t);
(iii)Sawtooth wave
Syntax: x3=sawtooth(t);
(iv)Square wave
Syntax: x4=square(t);
Aperiodic Signal | Non-periodic Signal : A signal is considered to be non-periodic or
aperiodic signal when it does not repeat its pattern over a period (i.e. interval of time).
Following are the aperiodic signals generated:
(i)Triangular pulse
Syntax:
y = tripuls(T); returns a continuous, aperiodic, symmetric, unity-height triangular pulse at
the times indicated in array T, centered about T=0 and with a default width of 1.
y = tripuls(T,w); generates a triangular pulse of width w.
y = tripuls(T,w,s) generates a triangular pulse with skew s, where –1 ≤ s ≤ 1. When s is 0, a
symmetric triangular pulse is generated.
(ii)Rectangular pulse
Syntax:
y = rectpuls(t); returns a continuous, aperiodic, unity-height rectangular pulse at the sample
times indicated in array t, centered about t = 0 and with a default width of 1. Note that the
interval of nonzero amplitude is defined to be open on the right, that is, rectpuls(-
0.5) = 1 while rectpuls(0.5) = 0.
y = rectpuls(t,w) generates a rectangle of width w.
