Graphical Convolution Example
• Convolution can be
divided into 5 parts
I. t<1
• Two functions do not
overlap
• Area under the product
of the
functions is zero
II. 1t<3
• Part of h(t) overlaps part
of x(t)
• Area under the product
of the
functions is (t-1)

Graphical Convolution Example
III. 3t<5
• h(t) is leaving x(t)
between the
time interval 3 and 5
• Area under the product
is
3-(t - 2) = 5 - t
IV. t<5
• h(t) and x(t) do not
overlap
• Area under their product
is zero
