checking resampling in time domain

This code is similar to my code snippet titled "Resampling filter performance".

But here the focus has changed to time domain.

The code uses a bandlimited random test input, parameters and a suitable filter for the given settings. You may change these parameters and see the effects.

clear all; close all;

%example bandlimited random input & parameters
x = filter(fir1(70,.1),1,randn(1,512));
h = fir1(30,.3);    %filter used for upsampling
up = 3;             %Interpolation factor
dn = 2;             %Decimation factor

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% up/dn model %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%upsample input
x_up = zeros(1,length(x)*up);
x_up(1:up:end) = x;
x_f = filter(up*h,1,x_up);

%downsample signal by decimation
x_dn = x_f(1:dn:end);

delay = 30/2+1;  
figure;
subplot(2,1,1);hold;
plot(x_up,'o--');
plot(x_f(delay:end),'r.-');
legend('input with zeros','upsampled stage');

subplot(2,1,2);hold;
plot(x_up(1:dn:end),'o--');
plot(x_dn(ceil(delay/dn):end),'r.-');
legend('input with zeros','final signal');
