Plot autocorrelation and power spectrum

Hi..i'm a beginner in using Matlab. I'm currently trying to generate a Gaussian random numbers, then use it as an input to a low pass filter, cut-off frequency 1000Hz. I have the random number generated as: : f = randn(1000,1) * sqrt(2) + 0; I'd like to ask how can i proceed from here to calculate and plot the autocorrelation and power spectrum at input/output of the filter.

If you have the Signal Processing Toolbox, simply use xcorr() and periodogram()
x = sqrt(2)*randn(1000,1);
Numlags = 50;
[xc,lags] = xcorr(x,Numlags,'coeff');
stem(lags(51:end),xc(51:end))
% power spectrum
Fs = 1; % sampling frequency
[Pxx,F] = periodogram(x,[],length(x),Fs);
figure;
plot(F,10*log10(Pxx))

Thanks a lot ya~ Let me try it out then.
Hi Wayne, btw, how can i implement this to a filter? example if i want to use the random number to a low pass filter with 1000Hz cutoff freq?
You need more information than that. You need to know minimally the sampling frequency.
Oh ok. I've previously designed (in fdatool) the filter as the IIR Butterworth filter, sampling frequency 8000Hz and cutoff frequency 1000Hz. I've exported the filter to workspace.Can you advice me how should i use the random number generated as input to this filter and then plot its output autocorrelation and power spectrum?

It depends on what you have exported. If you exported a filter object -- I'll assume this.
Let Hd be your filter object
x = randn(1000,1); % white noise input 1,000 samples in length
y = filter(Hd,x);

Thanks a lot. I got my output for autocorrelation and power spectrum like this:
