5-1 Basic Waveforms (Sects. 5–2, 5–3, and 5–4)

Given an equation, graph, or word description of step, ramp, exponential, or sinusoid waveforms:

(a) Construct an alternative description of the waveform.

(b) Find the parameters or properties of the waveform.

(c) Construct new waveforms by integrating or differentiating the given waveform.

(d) Generate the basic waveforms in MATLAB or Multisim and use them appropriately to solve problems or simulate circuits. (See Web Appendix D).
