Waveform Generation

Pulses, chirps, VCOs, sinc functions, periodic/aperiodic and modulated signals

Generate linear, quadratic, and logarithmic chirps using chirp. Create square, rectangular, and triangular waves using square, rectpuls, and sawtooth.

For wireless waveform generation capabilities beyond those shown here, see the Wireless Waveform Generator (Communications Toolbox) app.
