% GENERATE_TRAPEZOID: returns a matrix of sampled square wave

% DOCUMENTATION:
% phase shift is in number of periods
% fs is the sampling frequency: how many sample points per second
% duration is time in seconds
% duty cycle should be a number between 0 and 1.
    % duty of 0.5 would have 2 trapezoids in first half of each cycle
    % example of wave with duty of 0.5, where the peaks are amplitude/2:
