Hi Karthik,
To generate a triangular waveform with a specified skew and delay period in MATLAB, we should initially define the necessary parameters such as sampling frequency, period, skew factor, delay period, and total duration. Then, we can create a time vector covering the desired duration.
Fs = 1000;
T = 1;
skew = 0.85;
delay_period = 0.2;
duration = 5;
t = 0:1/Fs:duration;
Then we can use the `sawtooth` function in MATLAB with the skew factor to generate the triangular waveform.
tri_wave = sawtooth(2 * pi * t / T, skew);
Finally, we can introduce a delay between cycles by zeroing out parts of the waveform corresponding to the delay period, ensuring that the waveform is only active during each cycle's defined period.
delay_samples = round(delay_period * Fs);
wave_with_delay = zeros(size(t));
for i = 1:length(t)
cycle_index = floor(t(i) / (T + delay_period));
time_in_cycle = t(i) - cycle_index * (T + delay_period);
if time_in_cycle <= T
wave_with_delay(i) = sawtooth(2 * pi * time_in_cycle / T, skew);
end
end

plot(t, wave_with_delay);
