ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING
The workshop titled “The Power of Plotting: Signal Processing Basics on MATLAB” was
organized on 29th October 2025 at LT10, Presidency University. The session was conducted
under the IEEE Signal Processing Society, Presidency University Student Branch Chapter.
The workshop offered a comprehensive introduction to signal processing concepts, from the basics
of continuous and discrete-time signals to practical plotting in MATLAB. Participants actively
engaged in running MATLAB scripts, exploring common commands, and visualizing various
signal types.
• Practical exposure to MATLAB’s plotting and signal processing capabilities.
• Clear differentiation between analog and digital signal concepts.
• Demonstrations on real-time signal plotting and data visualization.
• Enhanced technical understanding for academic and project-based

Agenda
➢ Scope of the Event:
• To introduce students to the fundamentals of signal processing concepts.
• To provide hands-on experience using MATLAB for signal analysis and visualization.
• To help participants understand the difference between continuous-time and discrete
time signals.
• To demonstrate how MATLAB can be used to plot and interpret various basic
signals such as impulse, step, ramp, and sinusoidal.
• To bridge the gap between theoretical learning and practical implementation in
signal processing.
➢ Topics Covered:
• Introduction to Signal Processing – Understanding the concept, need, and applications of
signal processing.
• MATLAB Overview – Basics of MATLAB interface, environment, and applications in
engineering.
• Common MATLAB Commands – Commands such as clc, clear, linspace, plot, stem, and their
usage in signal generation.
• Plotting in MATLAB – Visualization of time-domain and discrete-time signals using plotting
tools.
• Basic Signals in Signal Processing – Study of unit impulse, step, ramp, and sinusoidal signals.
• Discrete-Time Signals – Understanding sampled signals, representation, and analysis.
• Assessment Session – Hands-on practice to test understanding and reinforce learning
4. FEEDBACK ON THE EVENT:
Students found the session informative, interactive, and well-paced. They appreciated the clear
explanations and practical demonstrations that helped simplify complex signal concepts. The hands-on
MATLAB activities were particularly valued, as they enabled direct application of theory. Overall, the
event was well-organized, interactive, and motivating.
