Method One:
>> N = 5;
>> 2*mod(ndgrid(1:N,1:N),2)-1
ans =
1 1 1 1 1
-1 -1 -1 -1 -1
1 1 1 1 1
-1 -1 -1 -1 -1
1 1 1 1 1
Method Two:
>> 2*(ones(N,1)*mod(1:N,2)).'-1
ans =
1 1 1 1 1
-1 -1 -1 -1 -1
1 1 1 1 1
-1 -1 -1 -1 -1
1 1 1 1 1
Method Three:
>> repmat(2*mod(1:N,2).'-1,1,N)
ans =
1 1 1 1 1
-1 -1 -1 -1 -1
1 1 1 1 1
-1 -1 -1 -1 -1
1 1 1 1 1
