How do you make a square wave in Matlab?
Description. x = square( t ) generates a square wave with period 2π for the elements of the time array t . square is similar to the sine function but creates a square wave with values of –1 and 1. x = square( t , duty ) generates a square wave with specified duty cycle duty .
Can a square wave be sampled?
Square waves are equivalent to a sine wave at the same (fundamental) frequency added to an infinite series of odd-multiple sine-wave harmonics at decreasing amplitudes. Computer algorithms exist which are able to sample waveshapes and determine their constituent sinusoidal components.
How is a square wave generated?
Square waves are typically generated by metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) devices due to their rapid on–off electronic switching behavior, in contrast to bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) which slowly generate signals more closely resembling sine waves rather than square waves.
