MATLAB for Discrete-Time Signals

This document provides an overview of discrete-time signals and systems for a digital signal processing course. It discusses discrete-time signals and their representation in MATLAB, basic signal operations like time shifting and reflection, discrete-time systems using convolution, and exercises for students to practice these concepts in MATLAB. Key topics covered include representing signals as vectors, common signal types, plotting signals, shifting signals in time, reversing signals, convolving signals using the conv command, and limitations of conv for modeling systems.

DSP Course 1 / 5

Discrete-time signals
Discrete-time signal x[n] represented by a pair of Matlab vectors n (time)
and x (amplitude)

Example: n = [-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3]; x = [2,1,-1,0,1,4,3]; Graphical representation: command stem(n,x) (not plot! check the
difference!)

Exercises:
(a) Generate/plot x[n] = RN [n] (rectangular window in 0 n N 1). (b) Generate/plot x[n] = u[n]. (c) Generate/plot x[n] = [n]. (d) Generate/plot x[n] = A()n u[n] (the 6 cases on a single gure using subplot. (e) Generate/plot x[n] = A cos(0 n + ) (check frequency/time periodicity).

Signal operations
Operations on two or more signals require that the signal be dened on the
same time interval.

Time-shifting and reection operates only on the vector n. Exercises:


(a) Given the signal x[n], write a Matlab function [y,n] = time shift(x,n,n0) for evaluating y[n n0 ] for arbitrary values of n0 Z. Test it with the signal x[n] = (0.9)n u[n] for 5 n 20 and n0 = 10, plot the results and comment. (b) Given the signal x[n], write a Matlab function [y,n] = time reverse(x,n) for evaluating y[n] = x[n] (use the command fliplr or flipud). Test it with the signal x[n] = R3 [n], plot the results and commment.

Discrete-time systems and convolution (1/2)


Convolution y[n] = x[n] h[n] is performed using the command y =

conv(x,h).
Limitations:
(a) x[n] and h[n] must be nite-length sequences or must be truncated can be used only for FIR lters (for the general case use the command filter instead). (b) The command conv does not allow one to specify the time-interval.

Discrete-time systems and convolution (2/2)


Exercises:
(a) Write a Matlab script for evaluating the convolution between h[n] = RN (n) and x[n] = an u[n] for N = 4 and a = 0.8 (a critical point is truncation of the innite-length x[n], try to nd an appropriate criterion). Plot the results and comment. (b) The command conv can alos be used for poynomial multiplication. Use it to perform multiplication between the two polynomials 1 3 P1 (z 1 ) = 1 2 z 1 and P2 (z 1 ) = 1 + 4 z 1 . Check with the analytical solution.
