Thread Subject: use of matrix repeatedly

hi
i want to assemble a new matrix in which same submatrix is repeated
many times.
for example k=[1,2;2,1]
if m=1
ka=[k]
if m=2
ka=[k,k;k,k]
if m=3
ka=[k,k,k;k,k,k;k,k,k]
and so on....
how can i accomplish this task?????
plz help if possible.
thanks n regards.

See the help for repmat.

Another poster mentioned repmat. Maybe you don't even need the full
array, but to operate with it. If so, bsxfun might be able to help.

What are you going to do with the result? Do you have to form the matrix?

This could be done in several ways, e.g.
k2=repmat(k,m,m);
or you can use kronecker tensor product:
k2 = kron(ones(m),k);
