Common Periodic Waveforms
The toolbox provides functions for generating widely used periodic waveforms:
• sawtooth generates a sawtooth wave with peaks at ±1 and a period of 2π. An
optional width parameter specifies a fractional multiple of 2π at which the signal's
maximum occurs.
• square generates a square wave with a period of 2π. An optional parameter specifies
duty cycle, the percent of the period for which the signal is positive.
To generate 1.5 s of a 50 Hz sawtooth wave with a sample rate of 10 kHz and plot 0.2 s of
the generated waveform, use
fs = 10000;
t = 0:1/fs:1.5;
x = sawtooth(2*pi*50*t);
plot(t,x)
axis([0 0.2 -1 1])
