• Are there sets of “basic” signals, xk[n], such that:
 We can represent any signal as a linear combination (e.g, weighted sum) of
these building blocks? (Hint: Recall Fourier Series.)
 The response of an LTI system to these basic signals is easy to compute
and provides significant insight.
• For LTI Systems (CT or DT) there are two natural choices for these building
blocks:
 DT Systems:  n  n0 
(unit pulse)
 CT Systems:  t  t 0 
(impulse)
 Later we will learn that there are many families of such functions: sinusoids,
exponentials, and even data-dependent functions. The latter are extremely
useful in compression and pattern recognition applications.

• Define the unit pulse response, h[n], as the response of a DT LTI system to a
unit pulse function, [n].
• Using the principle of time-invariance:
 [n]  h[n]   [n  k ]  h[n  k ]
convolution operator
• Using the principle of linearity:
x[n] 

 x[k ]  [n  k ]
k  
• Comments:
 y[n] 

 x[k ] h[n  k ]  x[n]  h[n]
k  
convolution sum
 Recall that linearity implies the weighted sum of input signals will produce a
similar weighted sum of output signals.
 Each unit pulse function, [n-k], produces a corresponding time-delayed
version of the system impulse response function (h[n-k]).
 The summation is referred to as the convolution sum.
 The symbol “*” is used to denote the convolution operation.

LTI Systems and Impulse Response
• The output of any DT LTI is a convolution of the input signal with the unit
pulse response:

x[n] 

 x[k ]  [n  k ]

 y[n] 
y[n]  x[n] * h[n]

 x[k ] h[n  k ]  x[n]  h[n]
k  
• Any DT LTI system is completely characterized by its unit pulse response.
• Convolution has a simple graphical interpretation:

Visualizing Convolution
• There are four basic steps to the
calculation:
• The operation has a simple graphical
interpretation:
EE 3512: Lecture 14, Slide 5
Calculating Successive Values
• We can calculate each output point by
shifting the unit pulse response one
sample at a time:
y[n] 

 x[k ] h[n  k ]
k  
• y[n] = 0 for n < ???
y[-1] =
y[0] =
y[1] =
…
y[n] = 0 for n > ???
• Can we generalize this result?

Graphical Convolution (Cont.)
• Observations:
 y[n] = 0 for n > 4
 If we define the duration of h[n] as the difference in time from the first
nonzero sample to the last nonzero sample, the duration of h[n], Lh, is
4 samples.
 Similarly, Lx = 3.
 The duration of y[n] is: Ly = Lx + Lh – 1. This is a good sanity check.
• The fact that the output has a duration longer than the input indicates that
convolution often acts like a low pass filter and smoothes the signal.

Summary
• We introduced a method for computing the output of a discrete-time (DT)
linear time-invariant (LTI) system known as convolution.
• We demonstrated how this operation can be performed analytically and
graphically.
• We discussed three important properties: commutative, associative and
distributive.
• Question: can we determine key properties of a system, such as causality
and stability, by examining the system impulse response?
• There are several interactive tools available that demonstrate graphical
convolution: ISIP: Convolution Java Applet.
