The delta function is not a function in the usual sense, it is a distribution or generalized function. However, we can simulate its behavior using dirac
function in Matlab.
To create a delta function at a specific point a
, use the dirac
function with an argument of (t-a)
. For example, to create a delta function at a=0
, type:
main.m117 chars4 lines
This will create a plot of the delta function centered at t=0
. You can change the location of the delta function by modifying the argument of the dirac
function.
Note that the dirac
function is not actually a function, but a distribution. Therefore, you cannot evaluate it at any point other than zero. However, you can use it in integrals and convolutions to achieve the desired effects.
