As you can see by the graph below, it is indeed very similar to an impulse function. To confirm, I integrated under the plot and found the area to be 0.99621, which is very close to the expected value of 1.

Doing this assignment taught many new lessons, in both sampling and Octave. An infinite integral in Octave would be impractical. As a result, I did the following:

  • I made a vector "x" from -5 to 5 with points spaced every .02 in between. I originally made the vector from -10 to 10 with an even smaller spacing (the Nyquist theorem requires that samples must be taken at at least twice the frequency), but the integral took too long.
  • I made a vector "y" equal to "x".
  • I used the meshgrid function in Octave to make my vectors square matrices xx and yy (more info here)
  • I then integrated and plotted the result.

As you can see by the graph below, it is indeed very similar to an impulse function. To confirm, I integrated under the plot and found the area to be 0.99621, which is very close to the expected value of 1. HW3.png
