Matlab Examples

Matlab is extensively used for real-world engineering applications.  Here are a few examples:

1) Basic Electrical Engineering Circuits (By Jeff Spiegel)

  • Comments and style in the HW directory are pretty good to learn the most useful features of Matlab for EE.   Directories beginning with "a" were assignments while "n" were in class notes I took with a computer.  This was the lunar rover data link project.

  • Zip File of many codes: ECE1020.zip Download ECE1020.zip

2) Electromagnetic Fields Links to an external site. (By Dr. James Nagel) 

3) Analysis of Optical Nanocrescent Antennas (By Miguel Rodriguez)

  • MIguel is a PhD student at the UofU.  He is studying the use of tiny nanocrescent antennas for binding molecules for advanced chemical and medical sensing.  He uses an advanced software package (Lumerical) to compute the fields.  He wants to know the peak fields, which is always super high at the tip of the antenna.  This super high value is a little artificial for this application, and we are more interested in a small region averaged around the tip. So, he uses Matlab to do that volume averaging, and also to plot the fields.
