periodic function with n cycles

16 views (last 30 days)
Hi, I need to create a periodic function and plot it.
F(x)=sqrt(3) + *Sin(t -2*pi/3) --> 0<t<pi/3
F(x)=Sin(t) --> pi/3 <t<2*pi/3
repeat the signal 0<t<3*pi with the period 2*pi/3 Then plot(t,Fx)
------
At the moment I use the following code
>> t1=0:.01:pi/3;
>> t2=pi/3:.01:2*pi/3;
A=sqrt(3) + sin(t1*2*pi- 2*pi/3);
B=sin(t2);
plot(t1,A,t2,B)
This method is produce the answer a one cycle. However it is quite difficult to repeat the pattern for multiple times.
Can any one n please suggest way of doing this

t = 0:pi/100:6*pi;
t1 = rem(t,2*pi/3);
l = t1 < pi/3 ;
F = @(t,l)sqrt(3)*l + sin((2*pi*l + ~l).*t -2*pi/3*l);
out = F(t1,l);
plot(t,out)
ADD
t = 2*pi*(0:.0005:1).';
t1 = rem(t,2*pi/3);
l1 = t1 < pi/3;
l0 = ~l1;
y = zeros(numel(t),2);
y(l1,1) = sqrt(3) + sin(t1(l1) - 2*pi/3);
y(l0,1) = sin(t1(l0));
y(l1,2) = sin(t1(l1) - 2*pi/3);
y(l0,2) = sin(t1(l0)) - sqrt(3);
yy = sin([t,bsxfun(@plus,t,[1, -1]*2*pi/3)]);
plot(t,[y,yy]);

Thanks. I modified further so that I can vary the frequency of the generated wave. Fyi. updated Code
f= 2; %frequency in Hz
x=linspace(0,1,1001);
t=x.';
w=2*pi*f;
T=1/f;
t1 = rem(t,T/3);
l1 = t1 < T/6;
l0 = ~l1;
y = zeros(numel(t),2);
y(l1,1) = sqrt(3) + sin(w*t1(l1) - 2*pi/3);
y(l0,1) = sin(w*t1(l0));
y(l1,2) = sin(w*t1(l1) - 2*pi/3);
y(l0,2) = sin(w*t1(l0)) - sqrt(3);
yy = sin([w*t,bsxfun(@plus,w*t,[1, -1]*2*pi/3)]);
plot(t,[y,yy]); grid on;

Hi,
I want to use this method to develop a periodic window to apply to a time function. The thing I could't understand is the second added part:
t = 2*pi*(0:.0005:1).';
t1 = rem(t,2*pi/3);
l1 = t1 < pi/3;
l0 = ~l1;
y = zeros(numel(t),2);
y(l1,1) = sqrt(3) + sin(t1(l1) - 2*pi/3);
y(l0,1) = sin(t1(l0));
y(l1,2) = sin(t1(l1) - 2*pi/3);
y(l0,2) = sin(t1(l0)) - sqrt(3);
yy = sin([t,bsxfun(@plus,t,[1, -1]*2*pi/3)]);
plot(t,[y,yy]);
do we need to add it?

t1=0:.01:pi/3;
t2=pi/3:.01:2*pi/3;
A=sqrt(3) + sin(t1*2*pi- 2*pi/3);
B=sin(t2);
t=[t1 t2],
y=[A,B]
plot(t,y)
m=5 % Repetition
n=numel(t);
tt=0:0.01:n*m*0.01-0.01
yy=repmat(y,1,m)
plot(tt,yy)

you can do it as follow:
count = 1;
for t = 0:pi/3:pi - pi/3
if mod(count, 2) == 1
x = linspace(t, t + pi/3);
y = sqrt(3) + sin(x * 2 * pi - 2 * pi/3);
plot(x, y), hold on
count = count + 1;
else
x = linspace(t, t + pi/3);
y = sin(x);
plot(x, y), hold on
count = count + 1;
end
end

It seems like the variable count does not have any effect on the output.
ie If I want to have 5 cycles of the, count=5? but the output remains unchanged.

It was selected to choose between the plots curve should be plotted. It doesn't have effect on output actually. The output is controlled by the range in the for loop:
for t = 0:pi/3:pi - pi/3
changing pi - pi/3 to pi - pi/3 will give more periods of the plot
