Objective: We want to generate a sinusoidal signal with 3 different frequencies and add noise to it and analyze the 2
signals using "Signal Analyzer" app to see the impact of the noise on the signal

Clean Up
clear;
clc;
close all;

Define Parameters
frequencies = [5 10 15]; % [Hz] the 3 frequencies for the signal
Fs = 500; % [Hz] The sampling frequency
Ts = 1/Fs; % [s] The sampling time

time_interval_1 = 0:Ts:2; % [s] Time interval 1, corresponds to f = 5 Hz


time_interval_2 = 2:Ts:4; % [s] Time interval 2, corresponds to f = 10 Hz
time_interval_3 = 4:Ts:6; % [s] Time interval 3, corresponds to f = 15 Hz
t = [time_interval_1 time_interval_2 time_interval_3]; % [s] time intervals
grouped in one vector

sig_no_noise1 = sin(2*pi*frequencies(1)*time_interval_1); % [mW] first part of


the signal (with f = 5 Hz)
sig_no_noise2 = sin(2*pi*frequencies(2)*time_interval_2); % [mW] second part
of the signal (with f = 10 Hz)

sig_no_noise3 = sin(2*pi*frequencies(3)*time_interval_3); % [mW] third part of


the signal (with f = 15 Hz)
signal_no_noise = [sig_no_noise1 sig_no_noise2 sig_no_noise3]; % [mW] the 3
parts of the signal grouped in one vector

noise = 0.1*randn(size(t)); % the noise to be added to the signal


signal_with_noise = signal_no_noise + noise; % [mW] the signal with noise
added

% Extra (adding noise using awgn function)

SNR = 15; % [dB] Let the Signal-to-Noise Ratio arbitrarily be 15 dB


signal_with_awgn = awgn(signal_no_noise, SNR);

Saving the signals data in xlsx file


file_name = 'Signals_data.xlsx';
signals_data = [signal_no_noise ; signal_with_noise ; signal_with_awgn];
xlswrite(file_name, signals_data);

Plotting The Signals


% Plotting the signal with no noise...

subplot(3, 1, 1);
plot(t, signal_no_noise);
xlim([0 6]); ylim([-1.5 1.5]);
ylabel('Power [mW]'); xlabel('time [s]');
title('The Signal (No Noise)');
grid on;

% Plotting the signal with noise added (using randn function)...

subplot(3, 1, 2);
plot(t, signal_with_noise);
xlim([0 6]); ylim([-1.5 1.5]);
ylabel('Power [mW]'); xlabel('time [s]');
title('The Signal (with Noise)');
grid on;

% Plotting the signal with noise added (using awgn function)

subplot(3, 1, 3);
plot(t, signal_with_awgn);
xlim([0 6]); ylim([-1.5 1.5]);
ylabel('Power [mW]'); xlabel('time [s]');
title('The Signal (with AWGN)');

Discussion
From the power spectrum (frequency domain) in Fig. 2, we can see that the high power
components of the signal is at 5, 10, and 15 Hz (see red circles) which represents the frequency
values of the sinusoidal signal, after 15 Hz, the power starts to drop to very low values (below -
80 dB) because the signal doesn’t have frequency components after the highest frequency (15
Hz), but if we look at the signal in Fig. 3, we notice that the signal is distorted with white noise.
Even though the power is still concentrated at the 3 main frequency values (see red circles), the
white noise added to the signal results in power presented in frequencies higher than 15 Hz (see
the power spectrum), and since the power of the noise isn’t high, the power in higher frequencies
is still low (in the range of -50dB).
Fig. 4 clarifies the difference between the pure sinusoidal signal and the distorted signal even
further.
