Matlab Code Help for x[n]=x(n2Ts)

In summary, the conversation discusses two equations, x(t)=4sin(0.5t).3u(t) and x[n]=x(n2Ts), and how to plot them using MATLAB. The second equation involves down sampling x(t) by 2, which can be done by leaving a sample between every two samples using the chosen sampling time Ts=0.25.

Homework Statement


x(t)=4sin(0.5t).3u(t)
x[n]=x(n2Ts)

The 1st equation, x(t)=4sin(0.5t).2u(t)
Code :
>> A=2;
>> wo=0.5;
>> t=5:0.25:50;
>> x=A*sin(wo*t).3*(t>=0);
>> plot(t,x), grid on
>> xlabel('t (s)'); ylabel('Amplitude(unit)')

But the second one,x[n]=x(n2Ts), I don't know what code should I use to plot it out,pls help,thanks.

Hi,
The second part is just down sampling the x(t) by 2. You have already chosen Ts=0.25. So just leave a sample between every two samples and you will get x[n]

Hi,
U mean I just use below code to plot it out?
>> T=0.25;
>> x=2*T*(A*sin(wo*n).3*(n>=0));

To plot x[n], you can use the same code as before, but with a few modifications. First, you need to define n as the index of the samples, rather than t as the time variable. Then, you can use the same formula for x[n] as x(t), but with n instead of t. Finally, you can use the "stem" function instead of "plot" to plot the discrete values of x[n]. The code would look like this:

>> A=2;
>> wo=0.5;
>> n=5:1:50; % or any other range of n that you want to plot
>> x=A*sin(wo*n*2*Ts).3*(n>=0);
>> stem(n,x), grid on
>> xlabel('n'); ylabel('Amplitude(unit)')

Note that the value of Ts is not given in the question, so you will need to define it yourself based on the sampling rate used in your system.
 

1. What is the purpose of the variable x[n] in Matlab code?

The variable x[n] is commonly used to represent a discrete-time signal in Matlab code. It is typically used to analyze and manipulate data that is collected at equally spaced intervals.

2. What does the notation x(n2Ts) mean?

The expression x(n2Ts) indicates that the signal x[n] is being sampled at a rate of 2Ts. This means that the signal is being sampled at twice the frequency of the original signal, resulting in a higher resolution representation of the signal.

3. How is the variable Ts determined in this code?

The variable Ts is typically determined by the sampling frequency of the signal. It is calculated by dividing 1 by the sampling frequency, which is measured in Hertz (Hz). For example, if the sampling frequency is 100 Hz, then Ts would be equal to 1/100 or 0.01 seconds.

4. What is the significance of using discrete-time signals in Matlab code?

Discrete-time signals are commonly used in Matlab code because they can accurately represent real-world data that is collected at discrete intervals. This allows for easier data manipulation and analysis, as well as the ability to apply various signal processing techniques.

5. How can I modify this code to change the sampling rate of the signal?

To change the sampling rate of the signal, you would need to modify the value of Ts in the code. This can be done by assigning a new value to the variable or by using a multiplier, such as 2Ts or 0.5Ts. Keep in mind that changing the sampling rate may affect the accuracy and resolution of the signal.
