Pulse generation
A MATLAB function used for generating pulses of various kinds including: gaussian, square, triangle, monocycle, biexponential, mexican hat, sinc, double sinc, sinc squared, sweep, and raised cosine. Inputs control the length, sampling frequency, and decay, , along with optional arguments for modulation, windowing, high and low pass filtering and frequency control on some pulse shapes. The program has been used for an assortment of applications including: DSP, seismology, radar, acoustics, and communication modeling.
The GUI is used for visualizing the pulses coming off the generator.
run pulsegen_vis to show the gui.
This submission is an update of a pulse generator I wrote several years ago in the file exchange File ID: #5582. The function has been cleaned up, some bugs fixed, a few additional features and I created a GUI to visualize the pulses.
