Among the methods for generating wavepackets is linear superposition, considering the spatial dimension x, an elementary complex wavepacket can be generated as follows:
x=-20:0.005:20;
w=20;
dw=0.1;
y=exp(j*w*x)+exp(j*(w-dw)*x)+exp(j*(w+dw)*x);
plot(x,real(y));
the parameter dw is the frequency difference between the components, and has an impact on coherence length.
