Ø Convolution, one of the most important concepts in electrical engineering, can be

used to determine the output signal of a linear time invariant system for a given
input signal with knowledge of the system's unit impulse response.
Ø The operation of continuous time convolution is defined such that it performs this
function for infinite length continuous time signals and systems.
Ø The operation of continuous time circular convolution is defined such that it
performs this function for finite length and periodic continuous time signals.
Ø In each case, the output of the system is the convolution or circular convolution of
the input signal with the unit impulse response.
Properties of Continuous Time Convolution
Convolution
The operation of convolution is linear in
each of the two function variables. Additivity
in each variable results from distributivity of
convolution over addition. Homogenity of
order one in each varible results from the
fact that for all continuous time signals f1; f2
and scalars a the following relationship
holds.
Time Domain Analysis of Discrete Time Systems

v The output of a discrete time LTI


system is completely determined by
the input and the system's response
to a unit impulse.
v The output for a unit impulse input is
called the impulse response.

Example Impulses

Since we are considering discrete time


signals and systems, an ideal impulse
is easy to simulate on a computer or
some other digital device. It is simply a
signal that is 1 at the point n = 0, and 0
everywhere else.
LTI Systems and Impulse Responses
• By the sifting property of impulses,
any signal can be decomposed in
terms of an infinite sum of shifted,
scaled impulses.

• Since we know the response of the


system to an impulse and any signal
can be decomposed into impulses,
• All we need to do to find the response
of the system to any signal is to
decompose the signal into impulses,
• Calculate the system's output for every
impulse and add the outputs back
together.
• This is the process known as
Convolution. Since we are in Discrete

LTI Systems and Impulse Responses
We will assume that h[n] is given for now.
The goal is now to comput the output y[n] given the impulse response h[n] and the input x[n].

v Discrete Time Convolution:


• Convolution, one of the most important concepts in electrical engineering, can be used to determine
the output a system produces for a given input signal.
• It can be shown that a linear time invariant system is completely characterized by its impulse
response.
• The sifting property of the discrete time impulse function tells us that the input signal to a system can
be represented as a sum of scaled and shifted unit impulses.
• Thus, by linearity, it would seem reasonable to compute of the output signal as the sum of scaled
and shifted unit impulse responses. That is exactly what the operation of convolution accomplishes.
• Hence, convolution can be used to determine a linear time invariant system's output from knowledge
of the input and the impulse response.
Convolution and Circular Convolution

Discrete time convolution is an operation on two discrete time signals defined by the integral

convolution
• By the sifting property of the unit impulse function.
By linearity
Convolution and Circular Convolution

• Hence, convolution has been defined such that the output of a linear time invariant system is given
by the convolution of the system input with the system unit impulse response.
