+% GENERATE_TRAPEZOID: returns a matrix of sampled square wave
+
+% CONTRIBUTORS:
+% Daniel Doan: Author
+
+% 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:
