hi,
you can start by going through the book "Matlab programming for engineers" by "Stephen J. Chapman". You should go through the book chapter wise and write and run the example programs given in the book.
This depend on the which you are wishing to simulate?
Say you want communications or DSP based algorithms use these two books
1) complementary communications by Proakis
2)DSP using matlab by proakis and Ingle .
These two books are really interesting and highly application oriented.
Use signals and systems by simon haykins which has both applications and matlab coding
well my ques ...is related with matlab only....
cany any one help in matlab formats...i want to reduce the gape b/w the bits in a no. e.g. 1 0 1 0 is the binary no. i want this no. as 1010..i.e. without the space b/w the bits..or vice versa.can i do so using matlab?
on matlab, try to type in "demos" or search the Help menu for the demos you could check on, it will give you some insights on the applications that you could do on matlab and how to simulate them
Matlab DSP is not very difficult. I have described 60Hz bandstop filter realisation for ECG signal in may page. There you can also find source code to download and try by yourself. I am plannig to put more related information about matlab DSP realisation. I guess it will be interesting for someone.
