How to generate an impulse sequence

I want to generate an impulse sequence or a train of impulse with a frequency of 1.6 Hz with matlab. How can I do that?

You could create a comb function like this:
% Create 1 second long signal of all zeros.
% Each time element is defined to be 0.000125 second long.
t = zeros(1, 5*1600);
% Create impulses every 0.000625 seconds.
% That would mean it occurs every 5th sample
t(1:4:end) = 1
Of course you can decide however many elements you want to be in a one second span and how narrow your pulses are.

It's simply just an array. How you interpret it is up to you. If you want it in Hz, fine, it's in Hz. If you want it in the frequency domain, fine, it's in the frequency domain. Nothing to do at all except in how you interpret it - the array can stay the same, it's just that the meaning of one element to the next means some thing different. It's in seconds or milliseconds, or in Hz or whatever. It's however you want to interpret it.

%% Creating a impulse train
f=10;% frequency of impulse
fs=4*f;% sampling frequency with oversampling factor
Ts=1/fs;% sampling interval or period
t=-25:Ts:25;% Time range for impulse train
% creating impulse function
x=@(t) (t==0)
%% Method 1
xshift = x(t)+x(t-1)+ x(t+1)+x(t-2)+x(t+2);
subplot(311)
stem(t,xshift,'^','linewidth',2);grid on;ylim([0 2]);
xlabel('Time(sec)');ylabel('Amplitude');
title('shifted impulse with origin');
%% Method 2
xshift = @(t) x(t)+ x(t-1)+x(t+1)+x(t-2)+x(t+2)
subplot(312)
stem(t,xshift(t),'r','^','linewidth',2);grid on;
xlabel('Time(sec)');ylabel('Amplitude');
title(' Using Annonimous function');ylim([0 2]);
%% impulse train
sum=zeros(size(t))
for k = -25:25
sum = sum+x(t-k)
end
subplot(313)
stem(t,sum,'^','linewidth',2);grid on;xlabel('Time(sec)');
ylabel('Amplitude');
title('Impulse Train ');ylim([0 2]);
%% completed
