The gain G of a certain microwave dish antenna can be expressed as a function of angle by the equation: G(theta) = | sinc (4theta) | for -pi/2<=theta<=pi/2 where θ is measured in radians from the boresite of the dish, and sinc(x) = (sin x)/x. Write a function to calculate the gain function.

Homework 3 As you know very well from physics, if you hit a ball forward with a certain angle and a certain speed, it makes an orbital movement. The height of the ball is determined by the equation given below. y(t)=y_0+v_y0 t-1/2 gt^2 Where y0 is the first location of the ball, vy0 is the initial vertical velocity of the ball and g is the gravitational acceleration. After the ball is thrown, the horizontal distance is determined by the following...

Write a Matlab program to plot the cosine wave. That is plot y=cos(k1x) vs. x for x varying from 0 to 2pi radians. The value of k1 is given at the end of this document. You can choose the increment for x. Note that large values of the increment will give you a coarse graph. Note: Matlab has two functions to calculate the sine of an angle: sin(x) and sind(x). What is the difference between these two functions? Use help...
