Question

Use MATLAB to generate a log-scale spectrum of your triangular wave. Note that MATLAB will automatically set the minimum and maximum values of your color scale. To make a clearer plot, it is helpful to limit the dB range of the plot to 80 dB. You can do this by finding the maximum of the color scale that MATLAB used and setting the minimum and maximum values of the color axis accordingly. The following short section of code does this. You can use help or doc to learn more about any of the commands.

cx=caxis;
maxc=max(cx); caxis ([maxc−80maxc])
colorbar

Answer 1

To generate a log-scale spectrum of a triangular wave using MATLAB, follow these steps: define the triangular wave signal, compute the Fourier transform, compute the magnitude spectrum, take the logarithm of the spectrum, plot the log-scale spectrum, and adjust the color scale range to limit the dB range to 80 dB.

Step-by-step explanation:

To generate a log-scale spectrum of a triangular wave using MATLAB, you can follow these steps:

1. Define your triangular wave signal.
2. Compute the Fourier transform of the signal using the 'fft' function.
3. Compute the magnitude spectrum of the Fourier transform using 'abs' function.
4. Take the logarithm (base 10) of the magnitude spectrum using the 'log10' function to obtain the log-scale spectrum.
5. Plot the log-scale spectrum using the 'plot' function.
6. Use the 'caxis' and 'colorbar' functions to set the color scale and adjust the range to limit the dB range to 80 dB.
