    Lecture 8: Convolution: Continuous Time System

    Uploaded by

    Vijay V Rao
    This document discusses the convolution integral for continuous time systems. It defines a continuous time system that accepts a continuous time input signal x(t) and produces a transformed continuous time output signal y(t). The convolution integral represents the output of a continuous time linear and time-invariant (LTI) system for an arbitrary input as the integral of the input signal multiplied by the system's impulse response from negative infinity to positive infinity. Different methods can then be used to evaluate this convolution integral.

    Lecture 8: Convolution: Continuous time system

    In this lecture we shall develop the convolution integral and then solve the convolution
    integral using different methods.

    1 Introduction:

    A continuous time system as shown below, accepts a continuous time signal x(t) and
    gives out a transformed continuous time signal y(t).

    Figure 1: The continuous time system

    Some of the different methods of representing the continuous time system are:

    i) Differential equation
    ii) Block diagram
    iii) Impulse response
    iv) Frequency response
    v) Laplace-transform
    vi) Pole-zero plot

    It is possible to switch from one form of representation to another, and each of the
    representations is complete. Moreover, from each of the above representations, it is
    possible to obtain the system properties using parameters as: stability, causality, linearity,
    invertibility etc. We now attempt to develop the convolution integral.

    2.1 The Convolution integral:

    Any continuous time signal x(t), can be represented in terms of the unit impulse function
    as shown below:

    ∞
    x(t ) = x (τ )δ (t − τ )dτ (1)
    −∞
    2.2 The impulse response h(t):

    The impulse response of a continuous time system is defined as the output of the system
    when its input is an unit impulse, δ (t ) . Usually the impulse response is denoted by h(t ) .

    Figure 2: The impulse response of a continuous time system

    2.3 The convolution integral:

    We now attempt to obtain the output of a continuous time/Analog digital system for an
    arbitrary input x(t), from the knowledge of the system impulse response h(t), and the
    properties of the impulse response of an LTI system.

    The output y(t) is given by, using the notation, y(t)=R{x(t)}.

    y (t ) = R { x(t )}
    ∞
    =R x(τ )δ (t − τ )dτ
    −∞
    ∞
    = x(τ ) R {δ (t − τ )} dτ
    −∞
    ∞
    = x(τ )h(t − τ )dτ
    −∞

    = x(t )* h(t )
    2.0 Conclusions:

    Having seen the development of the convolution integral, in the next lecture we shall see the
    different methods of evaluating this integral.
