Introduction to

Matlab
Khan M.Nazir
University of Management & Technology
Matlab is a high performance language
for technical computing.
The name matlab stands for matrix
laboratory.
It is a large software package, that has
many advanced features built-in, and it
has become a standard tool for many
working in science or engineering
disciplines.
As part of the undergraduate Electrical
Engineering program, you will be using Matlab to
solve problems in
Circuits
Communication systems
Digital signal processing
Control systems
Probability and statistics
In addition, you can use Matlab to build
Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) so that you
can develop user-friendly custom software.
The Matlab software environment has a core
module (called Matlab) and associated with that
are a set of "Toolboxes" that perform
specialized computations
Double click the Matlab lab icon,


the window that opens is called
command window

The >> sign shows that it is waiting for
us to write a new command.

Type the following command in the
command window:

>>x = 7 ;
>> 2*x
Operators (arithmetic)
+ addition
- subtraction
* multiplication
/ division
^ power
complex conjugate transpose


Arithmetic Operators
>> a=7;
>> b=3;
>> x=a+b

To go back to any particular
line for making correction etc,
Use key
Use key, for doing subtraction,
multiplication etc

>> x=a-b


>> x=a*b


>> x=a^b

Matrix
Matrices are 2 dimensional quantities and
are created similar to vectors. We can do
>> a = [1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9; 10 11 12]

Array, Matrix

Matrix Transpose
Matrix Multiplication
Since we have already defined x matrix
earlier, so we can perform any operation
on it. Try
>> 2*x
Matrix multiplication
Matrix multiplication
More Operators (arithmetic)
.* element-by-element mult
./ element-by-element div
.^ element-by-element power
. transpose

Element by element multiplication
Element by element power
Long Array
>> t =1:10

t =
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Long Array
>> k =2:-0.5:-1

k =
2 1.5 1 0.5 0 -0.5 -1


Matrix

>> B = [1:4; 5:8]

B =
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8

Graph Plot Demo
Type in the following

>> [x,y] = meshgrid(-2:.2:2, -2:.2:2);
>> z = x .* exp(-x.^2 - y.^2);
>> surf(x,y,z)

Label & Title

x = 0:pi/100:2*pi;
y = sin(x);
plot(x,y)

Loops
The for loop (very similar to C expression)
is a simple command for setting up a loop.
Example: >> for i = 1:10;
>> a(i) = i*i;
>> end
>> a
a =
1 4 9 16 25 36 49 64 8
1 100
for x=1:10
y(x)=x^2+x;
end
y
Complex numbers
>> z1=3+4*j;
>> theta=(60/180)*pi;
>> z2=2*exp(j*theta);
>> z=z1+z2;
>> zmag=abs(z);
>> zangle=angle(z)*(180/pi);
>> z,zmag,zangle
