Variables and Arrays

The functional unit of data in any Matlab program is array. An Array
is a collection of data values organized into rows and columns and
known by a single name.
Arrays can be classified as either vectors or matrices. The term
VECTOR is usually used to describe an array with only one
dimension. While the term MATRIX is usually used to describe an
array with two or more dimensions.
Size of array is specified by the number of rows and the number of
columns in the array, with the number of rows mentioned first. The
total number of elements in the array will be the product of the
number of rows and the number of columns.
Try using these values:
[3.4]
[1.0 2.0 3.0]
[1.0; 2.0; 3.0]
[1, 2, 3; 4, 5, 6]
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
[]
Not all the elements of an array need to be defined when it is
created. If a specific array element is defined and onwe or more of
the elements before it are not, then the earlier elements are
automatically created and initialized to zero. For example, if c is not
previously defined, the statement
C(2,3)=5
Will produce matrix 0 0 0
005
Similarly the array d=[1 2]. Then the statement
d(4)=4
will produce d=[1 2 0 4].

Initializing with shortcut expressions

Matlab provides a special shortcut notation for these circumstances
using the COLON operator. The colon operator specifies a whole
series of values by specifying the first vales in the series, the

stepping increment and then the last value in the series. The
general form of a colon operator is
First: increment: last
For example
x=1:2:10
will generate x= 1 3 5 7 9
Try using angles=(0.01:0.01:1.00)*pi;
Transpose Operator():
This operator swaps the rows and columns of any array that it is
applied to.
For example try using:
F=[1:4]
And F=[1:4]
Initializing with Built-in functions:
Try using these:
A=zeros(2)
B=zeros(2,3)
C=[1 2; 3 4]
D=zeros(size(C))
E=ones(3)
Ones(3,1)
Eye(3)
Eye(3,2)
Length(C) //Generate the longest dimension of
the array.
Zeros can be used to create an all zero array of any desired size. If
function has a single square array; it will generate a square array
using the single argument as both the number of rows and columns.
size function returns two values containing the number of rows and
columns in an array.
Initializing variables with keyboard input:
Input function displays a prompt string in the command window and
then waits for the user to type in a response. For example , consider
the following statement:
My_val=input(enter an input value);
Multidimensioanl Array
Matlab allows us to create arrays as many dimensions as necessary
for any given problem. These arrays have one subscript for each
dimension and an individual element in the array will be the product
of the maximum value of each subscript. For example the following
two statements create a 2X2X3 array C:
C(:,:,1)=[1 2 3; 4 5 6];
C(:,:,2)=[7 8 9; 10 11 12];
Whos C

SubArrays
It is possible to select and use subsets of arrays as though they
were separate arrays. To select a portion of array, just include a list
of all of the elements to be selected in the parenthesis after the rray
name. For example:
Arr1=[1.1 2.2 3.3 4.4 5.5]
Try using Arr1(3)
And Arr1([1 4])
And also Arr1(1:2:5)
End Function:
It is very useful for creating array subscripts. When used in an array
subscript; end returns the highest value taken on by that subscript.
For example. Suppose that array arr3 is defined as follows:
Arr3=[ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8];
Then Arr1(5:end) would be the array [5 6 7 8] and array(end) would
generate 8.
The value returned by end is always the highest value of a given
subscript. Is end appears in different subscripts, it can return
different values within the same expression. For example, suppose
that the 3X4 array Arr4 is defined as follows:
Arr4=[1 2 3 4; 5 6 7 8; 9 10 11 12];
Then the expression
Arr4(2:end, 2:end)
would return the array.(Try this one).

Upsampling and downsampling of signal

Equipment
Required:

Multimedia

Question # 01:

Upsampling is the process of increasing the sampling rate of a signal.

The upsampled signal satisfies the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem
if the original signal does. Consider a discrete signal f(k) on a radian
frequency digital frequency range. Let L denote the upsampling factor.
1. Add L-1 zeros between each sample in f(k). Or, equivalently
define
2. Filter with a low-pass filter which, theoretically, should be the
sinc filter with frequency cut off at pi/L.
Downsampling (or "subsampling") is the process of reducing the
sampling rate of a signal. This is usually done to reduce the data rate
or the size of the data.

If the sampling theorem is not satisfied then the resulting digital signal
will have aliasing. To ensure that the sampling theorem is satisfied, a
low-pass filter is used as an anti-aliasing filter to reduce the bandwidth
of the signal before the signal is downsampled.
Let M denote the downsampling factor.
1. Filter the signal to ensure that the sampling theorem is satisfied.
This filter should, theoretically, be the sinc filter with frequency
cutoff at pi/M. Let the filtered signal be denoted g(k).
2. Reduce the data by picking out every Mth sample: h(k) = g(Mk).
Data rate reduction occurs in this step.
