Digital Signal Processing – 20IC210P

Experiment 1
Aim: Introduction to MATLAB
Theory:
1. Assigning value to a variable: We can assign value to any variable using the
‘=’ symbol.
Syntax: a=5; OR a=5
If you omit the semicolon at the end of a command, the result is displayed
immediately in the command window.

2. Initializing an
array: In MATLAB, an array is
a fundamental data structure that can store
values of the same type. Arrays can be one-
dimensional (like vectors) or multi-dimensional
(like matrices). Initializing an array involves
allocating space for the array and assigning
values to its elements.
Syntax:
a=[1,2,5,6,7]  Row Vector
b=[2;4;3;8;9]  Column Vector
c=[1, 2; 3, 4]  Matrix

3. Prebuilt Functions:
3.1.Zeros: Creates an array of zeros.
3.2.Ones: Creates an array of ones.
3.3.Rand: Creates an array with random values
between 0 and 1.
Syntax:
a=zeros(3,3)
b=ones(3,2)
c=rand(2,3)

4. Displaying: The ‘disp’ function in MATLAB is


used to display the value of a variable or a
string of text in the command window. It is a simple and effective way to
output information without displaying the variable name or any additional
text.
Syntax:
disp(a);
disp(‘Hello MATLAB’);

5. Element-wise Operator: To
multiply each element of an array
individually in MATLAB, you can
use element-wise multiplication.
The element-wise multiplication
operator is (.*).
Same is applicable for all other
logical operators as well.
Syntax:
a=[1,2,5,6,7]
b=[2,4,3,8,9]
c=a.^2+b.*3

6. Assigning a range of values to a


variable: The colon operator is a
simple and efficient way to create
arrays with a specified range and
step size.
Syntax:
t=0:2
t=0:1:5

7. Length: The length function in


MATLAB returns the length of the
largest array dimension. It's a simple
yet useful function to determine the
size of a vector or the maximum
dimension of a matrix.
Syntax: N=length(t)

8. Magic: The magic function in


MATLAB creates a magic square. A
magic square is a matrix in which
the sum of the elements in each
row, column, and the main
diagonals are all the same. This sum
is known as the magic constant.
Syntax: y=magic(5)

Conclusion: This experiment gave me a solid introduction to MATLAB. I learned


about its user interface, basic commands, and functions, and got hands-on
experience with data visualization and matrix operations. MATLAB's ability to
simplify complex computations was impressive, and I can see how it can be a
powerful tool in various fields. This experiment has set a strong foundation for
me to continue exploring and using MATLAB in my future projects.
