please

I have two sources for sending signals, where x1 represents the signal from the first source and x2 represents the signal from the second source :

How can I add distance to signals and how can I determine the locat... (2)

where :

w1: First Angular Frequncy (rad / sec) and frequncy 40 KHZ.

W2: Second Angular Frequncy (rad / sec) and frequncy 60 KHZ.

n: Number of samples

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have this code, how can I add the following to it?

  1. How can I add the distance to x1 and x2 and find the distance between them ?
  2. How can I find location x1 and location x2 ?
  3. Plot Magnitude of FFT with frequencies ?

Please rewrite the code correctly to get the above results.

% Define all the parameters.

% Frequncy for wave one(KHZ).

f1 = 40e6 ;

% Frequncy for wave two(KHZ).

f2 = 60e6 ;

% The speed of light in vacuum (m/sec).

% Wavelength for wave one(m).

% Wavelength for wave two(m).

h2 = c / f2 ;

% Imaginary part.

% Initialize the vector to store the values.

% Make for loop (where n: number of samples).

Hi Muhammad,

To incorporate distance into signals, find their locations and plot the FFT magnitude, you can refer to the following steps and attached code snippets:

1. The phase shift due to distance was incorporated into the signals by multiplying by the term “exp (-j * 2 * pi * f * d / c)”. This term accounts for the phase delay introduced by the distance the signal travels.

x1 = exp(j * h1 * n) * exp(-j * 2 * pi * f1 * d1 / c);

x2 = exp(j * h2 * n) * exp(-j * 2 * pi * f2 * d2 / c);

X(n) = x1 + x2;

2. The signal locations were determined by distances (d1) and (d2) and printed to the console to indicate positions of (x1) and (x2).

% Display locations

disp(['Location of x1: ', num2str(d1), ' meters']);

disp(['Location of x2: ', num2str(d2), ' meters']);

3. The FFT of the combined signal was computed, and its magnitude was plotted against a normalized frequency axis, providing a clear visualization of the signal's frequency components.

% Compute FFT.

Y = fft(X, 256);

% Compute Magnitude FFT

Y1 = abs(Y);

% Frequency axis for plotting

Fs = 1;

f = (0:255) * (Fs / 256);

% Plot Magnitude of FFT with frequencies

figure;

plot(f, Y1);

grid on;

title('Magnitude of FFT Spectrum of X(N)', 'FontSize', 12, 'Color', 'k');

xlabel('Frequency (Hz)', 'FontSize', 12);

ylabel('Magnitude', 'FontSize', 12);

You may refer to the output below for a clearer understanding:
