I. Intended Learning Outcomes
1. Familiarize oneself with the basic commands in MATLAB.
II. Discussion

The purpose of this exercise is to familiarize you with the basic commands in
MATLAB for signal generation and for plotting the generated signal. MATLAB has been
designed to operate on data stored as vectors or matrices. For our purposes, sequences
will be stored as vectors. Therefore, all signals are limited to being causal and of finite
length.

III. Learning Activities

Part 1 Discrete-time Signals
A discrete-time signal is a row vector whose elements are the samples taken from a
continuous-time signal. It is of the general form

with the arrow indicates the sample at time index n = 0 which will serve as our reference.
However in MATLAB, we cannot have information about the sample position directly
from this row vector. Therefore, to completely define discrete-time signals in MATLAB,
we need to define two row vectors, one for x(n) and another one for n. For example, to
define the sequence

you issue the command

>> n =[-3:4]; x = [2 1 -1 0 1 4 3 7];
and use the stem function to plot the discrete-time signal, as shown below
>> stem(n,x);grid on;title('Discrete-time signal x(n)')

The unit sample sequence is defined
