INTRODUCTION TO MATLAB

11
What is MATLAB?

MATLAB (MATrix LABoratory) is an interactive system for matrix-based

computation designed for scientific and engineering use. It is applicable to
many forms of numeric computation and visualization. Besides dealing with
explicit matrices in linear algebra, it can handle differential equations,
polynomials, signal processing, and other applications. Results can be made
available both numerically and graphically.

12
Typical use of matlab :
 Mathematical operations and computations

Algorithm development

Modeling, simulation, and prototyping

Data analysis, exploration, and visualization

Scientific and engineering graphics

Application development, including Graphical User Interface (GUI) building

13
MATLAB features a family of application-specific solutions called toolboxes.
Toolboxes allow you to learn and apply specialized technology. Toolboxes are
comprehensive collections of MATLAB functions (M-files) that extend the
MATLAB environment to solve particular classes of problems. Areas in which
toolboxes are available include signal processing, control systems, neural
networks, fuzzy logic, wavelets, simulation, and many others.

14
THE MATLAB SYSTEM

The MATLAB system consists of five main parts:

1. The MATLAB language.

This is a high-level matrix/array language with control flow statements,

functions, data structures, input/output, and object-oriented programming
features. It allows both "programming in the small" to rapidly create quick and dirty
throw-away programs, and "programming in the large" to create complete large and
complex application programs.

15
2. The MATLAB working environment.

This is the set of tools and facilities that you work with as the MATLAB user or
programmer. It includes facilities for managing the variables in your workspace and
importing and exporting data. It also includes tools for developing, managing,
debugging, and profiling
M-files, MATLAB's applications.

3.Handle Graphics.

This is the MATLAB graphics system. It includes high-level commands for two-
dimensional and three-dimensional data visualization, image processing, animation,
and presentation graphics. It also includes low-level commands that allow you to fully
customize the appearance of graphics as well as to build complete GUI on your
MATLAB applications.
 

16
4.The MATLAB mathematical function library.

This is a vast collection of computational algorithms ranging from elementary

functions like sum, sine, cosine, and complex arithmetic, to more sophisticated
functions like matrix inverse, matrix eigenvalues, Bessel functions, and fast Fourier
transforms (FFT).

5.The MATLAB Application Program Interface (API).

This is a library that allows you to write C and Fortran programs that interact with
MATLAB. It include facilities for calling routines from MATLAB (dynamic linking),
calling MATLAB as a computational engine, and for reading and writing MAT-files.

 Aerospace Toolbox
Aerospace Toolbox provides reference standards, environmental models, and
aerodynamic coefficient importing for performing advanced aerospace
analysis to develop and evaluate your designs. Options for visualizing vehicle
dynamics include a six-degrees-of-freedom MATLAB® animation object and
interfaces to FlightGear flight simulator and Simulink 3D Animation™
software. These options let you visualize flight data in a three-dimensional (3-
D) environment and reconstruct behavioral anomalies in flight-test results.

27
 Signal Processing Toolbox
Signal Processing Toolbox™ provides industry-standard algorithms for analog and
digital signal processing (DSP). You can use the toolbox to visualize signals in time and
frequency domains, compute FFTs for spectral analysis, design FIR (Digital filters with
finite-duration impulse response) and IIR (infinite-duration impulse response filters)
filters, and implement convolution, modulation, resampling, and other signal
processing techniques. Algorithms in the toolbox can be used as a basis for developing
custom algorithms for audio and speech processing, instrumentation, and baseband
wireless communications.
