Plot vin, vSAH and vout

N = 8; % ADC size given in question

Vref=2; % Specification given in question
PI = 3.14159;
fm = 500; % Let input frequency be 500 Hz

M = 1024; %FFT length in order to separate frequency bins by fin/4

fs = 256*fm; % Sampling frequency as per problem requirement

n=0:1:(M)-1;

Vin=(1+sin(2*PI*fm*n*(1/fs))); % Input signal

plot(n/fs,Vin);

% Vout calculation

Vout = ((x)*Vlsb); % Quantiser output

2.

Plot the one-sided frequency spectrum of vout (with log-y axis and
linear-x axis). The frequency bins should have a separation of
fin/4. Compute the signal-to-noise ratio of vout . Comment on your
observation.
