Lab 6 Functions

This document discusses computing the convolution of linear time-invariant systems in MATLAB. It presents two tasks - the first involves convolving two sample signals, and the second uses a case statement to convolve different input signals with a common impulse response based on user input.

III. LAB TASKS

Task 1:

Consider the following input signa l and the impulse


response of the LTI system

X(t) = e (0.2t) u(t);

H(t) = u(t – 2);

find the output y(t) = x(t)*h(t)

where t is from -10 to 10 for the inputs and decide an


appropriate time scale

for the output

• Code:

• Explanation:
In order to convolute the two signals x(t)= e
(0.2t) u(t) and H(t) = u(t – 2) we first define
the two signals. Then we convolute them
using inbuilt conv function and plot them
using the stem function for discreet time.

Task 2:

Create a MATLAB code to compute the output of the


LTI system making use of

‘CASE ‘statement, with t= -10 to 10

a. Take the input from the user

b. If user enters ‘unit’ input signal should be x(t) =


u(t) - u(t – 2)

c. If user enters ‘imp’ input signal should be x(t) = δ(t


+ 2) + δ (t – 3)

d. Impulse response is h(t) = exp(0.3t)*u(t)

e. Plot the input signal impulse response and the


output signal y(t) = x(t)*h(t)
ii. Unit impulse:

• Code:

• Explanation:

In order to convolute the two signals H(t) = u(t – 2)


and either x(t) = u(t) - u(t – 2) or be x(t) = δ(t + 2) + δ
(t – 3) we define x(t) and u(9). Then we use a switch

or stem function to plot them.

i. Unit step: LABVIEW. We learnt how to implement switching
between two inputs depending upon the users will.
This is the first step in the wide world of signals and
