  2. Useful Functions • Unit gate function (a.k.a. unit pulse function) • What does rect(x / a) look like? • Unit triangle function rect(x) 1 x -1/2 0 1/2 D(x) 1 x -1/2 0 1/2

  3. Unit Area -e e t Unit Impulse (Functional) • Mathematical idealism foran instantaneous event • Dirac delta as generalizedfunction (a.k.a. functional) Unit area: Sifting provided g(t) is defined at t = 0 Scaling: • Note that d(0) is undefined Unit Area -e e t

  4. (1) Unit Area t 0 Unit Impulse (Functional) • Generalized sifting Assuming that a > 0 • By convention, plot Dirac delta as arrow at origin Undefined amplitude at origin Denote area at origin as (area) Height of arrow is irrelevant Direction of arrow indicates sign of area • With d(t) = 0 for t 0, it is tempting to think f(t) d(t) = f(0) d(t) f(t) d(t-T) = f(T) d(t-T) Simplify unit impulse under integration only

  5. We can simplify d(t) under integration What about? Answer: 0 What about? By substitution of variables, Other examples What about at origin? Unit Impulse (Functional) Before Impulse After Impulse

  6. Unit Impulse (Functional) • Relationship between unit impulse and unit step • What happens at the origin for u(t)? u(0-) = 0 and u(0+) = 1, but u(0) can take any value Common values for u(0) are {0, ½, 1} u(0) = ½ is used in impulse invariance filter design: L. B. Jackson, “A correction to impulse invariance,” IEEE Signal Processing Letters, vol. 7, no. 10, Oct. 2000, pp. 273-275.

  7. LTI Systems • Recall for LTI system with input fand outputy • Homogeneity: cf(t)  cy(t) • Time-invariance: cf(t-T)  cy(t-T) • Adding additivity: • If a signal ( F(t) ) can be expressed as a sum of shifted ( t - Ti ) and weighted ( ci) copies of a simpler signal ( f(t) ), we easily find a system’s output ( Y(t) ) to that signal if we only know system’s output ( y(t) ) to that simpler signal • A common choice for f(t)is the impulse

  8. Impulse Response • Impulse response of a system is response of the system to an input that is a unit impulse (i.e., a Dirac delta functional in continuous time) • Linear constant coefficient differential equation • When initial conditions are zero, this differential equation is LTI and system has impulse response b0 is coefficient (could be 0) of b0 DN f(t) on right-hand side N is highest order of derivative in differential equation

  9. Impulse Response • In following plug, where did bn come from? • In solving these differential equations for t 0, • Funny things happen to y’(t) and y”(t) • In differential equations class, solved for m(t) • Likely ignored d(t) and d’(t) terms • Solution for m(t) is really valid for t 0+

  10. F(t) t t=nDt Dt System Response • Signals as sum of impulses • But we know how to calculate the impulse response ( h(t) ) of a system expressed as a differential equation • Therefore, we know how to calculate the system output for any input, F(t)

  11. Convolution Integral • Commonly used in engineering, science, math • Convolution properties • Commutative: f1(t) * f2(t) = f2(t) * f1(t) • Distributive: f1(t) * [f2(t) + f3(t)] = f1(t) * f2(t) + f1(t) * f3(t) • Associative: f1(t) * [f2(t) * f3(t)] = [f1(t) * f2(t)] * f3(t) • Shift: If f1(t) * f2(t) = c(t), thenf1(t) * f2(t - T) = f1(t - T) * f2(t) = c(t - T). • Convolution with impulse, f(t) * d(t) = f(t) • Convolution with shifted impulse, f(t) * d(t-T) = f(t-T) important later in modulation

  12. Graphical Convolution Methods • From the convolution integral, convolution is equivalent to • Rotating one of the functions about the y axis • Shifting it by t • Multiplying this flipped, shifted function with the other function • Calculating the area under this product • Assigning this value to f1(t) * f2(t) at t

  13. f(t) g(t) 3 2 * t t 2 -2 2 3 g(t-t) 2 f(t) t 2 -2 + t 2 + t Graphical Convolution Example • Convolve the following two functions: • Replace t with t in f(t) and g(t) • Choose to flip and slide g(t) since it is simpler and symmetric • Functions overlap like this:

  14. 3 g(t-t) 2 f(t) t 2 -2 + t 2 + t 3 g(t-t) 2 f(t) t 2 -2 + t 2 + t Graphical Convolution Example • Convolution can be divided into 5 parts • t < -2 • Two functions do not overlap • Area under the product of thefunctions is zero • -2 t < 0 • Part of g(t) overlaps part of f(t) • Area under the product of thefunctions is

  15. 3 g(t-t) 2 f(t) t 2 -2 + t 2 + t 3 g(t-t) 2 f(t) t 2 -2 + t 2 + t Graphical Convolution Example • 0 t < 2 • Here, g(t) completely overlaps f(t) • Area under the product is just • 2 t < 4 • Part of g(t) and f(t) overlap • Calculated similarly to -2 t < 0 • t 4 • g(t) and f(t) do not overlap • Area under their product is zero

  16. Graphical Convolution Example • Result of convolution (5 intervals of interest): No Overlap Partial Overlap Complete Overlap Partial Overlap No Overlap y(t) 6 t -2 0 2 4
