convolve two signals in matlab

To convolve two signals in MATLAB, you can use the conv function. The syntax for using conv is as follows:

main.m
y = conv(x1, x2);
18 chars
2 lines

where x1 and x2 are the two signals to be convolved and y is the resulting convolved signal.

Here is an example code snippet:

main.m
x1 = [1 2 3 4 5];
x2 = [0.5 0.5 0.5];
y = conv(x1, x2);
56 chars
4 lines

This will convolve x1 with x2 and store the result in y.

Note that the output signal will have a length of length(x1) + length(x2) - 1. If you want to truncate the result to the same length as x1, you can use the following code:

main.m
y = conv(x1, x2);
y = y(1:length(x1));
39 chars
3 lines

This will take the first length(x1) samples of the convolved signal, effectively truncating it to the same length as x1.
