explain wave(i,1:381)=a*sin(f*(d*(pi/180))+phi); in matlab

The line of code wave(i,1:381)=a*sin(f*(d*(pi/180))+phi) assigns values to the row 'i' and columns 1 through 381 of a matrix named 'wave' in MATLAB.

The values assigned depend on three variables:

  • 'a': Amplitude of the sine wave
  • 'f': Frequency of the sine wave
  • 'd': Phase shift of the sine wave in degrees
  • 'phi': Initial phase angle of the sine wave

The code calculates the ith row and fills columns 1 through 381 with the result of the sin() function where the input to the function is f*(d*(pi/180))+phi. This expression calculates the phase shift in radians and adds the initial phase, which is measured in radians, before calculating the sine of the sum. Finally, this result is multiplied by the value of 'a'. The resulting array of values forms a sine wave, which can be plotted or further analyzed as needed.
