Signal Analysis Tutorial (Day-1)

 What is Matlab ?
• Matlab is a programming language.
• Initially developed by a lecturer in 1970’s to
help students to learn linear algebra.
• Its basic data element is the matrix.
• Very simple to code.
• Here we can do mathematical operations and
can represent the output in a matrix from or by
different plots.

 Desktop Basics
• The desktop includes mainly these panels:
• Current Folder — Access your files.
• Command Window — Enter commands at
the command line, indicated by the prompt
(>>).
• Workspace — Explore data that you create or
import from files.

• x = 0:2*pi;
• y1 = 2*cos(x);
• y2 = cos(x);
• y3 = 0.5*cos(x);
• plot(x,y1,'--',x,y2,'-',x,y3,':')
• xlabel(‘the value of x')
• ylabel('Cosine functions')

 Scripts
• Scripts are basically used to execute several commands
at a time.

Name of the Editor window to write

MATLAB code or command lines
file
 Scripts
• To run:
Write the code > save the code > press run

**Script file should not named as

standard functions of MATLAB
