SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on implementing mathematical equations in MATLAB, specifically the equation for expected transition time E{T} based on maximum and minimum speed values. Users confirmed that E{T} and E{L} can be vectors, and provided a MATLAB code snippet to calculate E{T}. Additionally, the conversation addressed generating uniform random values within a specified range using MATLAB's rand() function. A separate inquiry about designing a binary weighted current steering DAC in MATLAB highlighted issues with a provided code snippet that resulted in incorrect output.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of MATLAB syntax and functions
  • Familiarity with mathematical concepts of expected values
  • Knowledge of uniform distribution in statistics
  • Basic programming skills for debugging MATLAB code
NEXT STEPS
  • Learn MATLAB's vectorization techniques for efficient calculations
  • Explore MATLAB's built-in functions for statistical analysis
  • Research how to implement random number generation in MATLAB
  • Investigate the design principles of binary weighted DACs in MATLAB
USEFUL FOR

Students, MATLAB users, and engineers working on mathematical modeling or digital circuit design who need to implement equations and algorithms in MATLAB.

Homework Statement
Hi, guys. I've been reading a paper including some equations. Now, I'd like to write one equation as codes in Matlab. The equation is as following:

E{T} = (ln(v_max / v_min) / v_max - v_min) * E{L}

where E{T} is the expected value of transition time and E{L} is the expected value of transition distance. Also, v_max and v_min mean the maximum speed and the minimum speed, respectively. Note that the speed is a uniform speed distribution within [v_min, v_max].

Thanks in advance.

Are all these quantities scalars?

- Warren
 
Yes, they are all scalar values. However, E{T} and E{L} can be vectors.
 
Then they aren't all scalars.

Do something like this

Code:
EL = [ 1 2 3 ]
v_min = 1
v_max = 2

ET = (log(v_max / v_min) / (v_max - v_min)) * EL

- Warren
 
Thanks for your kind reply. Could you provide one more? The speed values (v_max and v_min) are in a uniform speed distribution within [v_min, v_max].

How do I write that in Matlab? Shall I just use rand() ? (I just want to confirm from others because I'm not an export within Matlab)

Thanks in advance.
 
You're aware that Matlab has excellent built-in help, right?

Code:
>> help rand
...
Generate uniform values from the interval [a, b].
           r = a + (b-a).*rand(100,1);

If you just want one random number, use:

Code:
v = v_min + (v_max - v_min) * rand();

- Warren
 
Thanks. As you mentioned, Matlab has an excellent help system and I know about that. Sorry, I might annoy you (I just want to get the certain reply from Matlab experts).

Anyway, thanks again!
 
hw to design current steering binary weighted dac in matlab

Hi, anybody can u pls suggest homework to design the dac using binary weighted current steering method in matlab.

thanks
 
How to write this code in Matlab?

M0=100;
var0=100;

for i=1:478
for j=1:448
if(temp(i,j)>M)
G(i,j)=M0+sqrt(double((var0*power((temp(i,j)-M),2))/V));
else

G(i,j)=M0-sqrt(double((var0*power((temp(i,j)-M),2))/V));

Where temp(i,j) is an matrix. This code is not working. I am getting the values of G as 100. Please help me with the correct code. I am new to matlab.
