Find the form factor for the signal ‘y’ given by the following MATLAB code:
t = 0:0.001:1;
a1 = sin(2*pi*1*t);
a2 = sin(2*pi*10*t);
y = 0.8*a1+0.2*a2;
a. 3.55
b. 1
c. 10.21
d. 0
Correct answer: a
Detailed solution:
% Use following MATLAB code
t = 0:0.001:1;
a1 = sin(2*pi*1*t);
a2 = sin(2*pi*10*t);
y = 0.8*a1+0.2*a2;
sig = y;

sig_d = diff(sig);% First derivative

var1 = var(sig);%Signal variance

var2 = var(sig_d);%Variance of first derivative
var2d = var(diff(sig_d));%Variance of second derivative
Mx = sqrt(var2/var1);
Mxd = sqrt(var2d/var2);
FF = Mxd / Mx
