The output of the system is simply the convolution of the input to the system with
the system's impulse response.
• Linearity and time invariance (which are the
basic system properties) play fundamental
role in signal&system analysis because :
Solution
Test the system with input 𝑥𝑥1 𝑛𝑛 = 2 and 𝑥𝑥2 𝑛𝑛 = 3
What is Linear Time Invariant (LTI)?
Time invariance whether we apply an input to
the system now or T seconds from now, the output
will be identical except for time delay of T seconds.
Eqn (2.2) sifting property of the discrete-time unit impulse. The summation on the
right side sifts through the sequence of values x[k] and preserves on the value
corresponding to k=n
Hence, the sum of the 5 sequences in the figure equals x[n] for -2≤ 𝑛𝑛 ≤ 2.
For example as below:
Also known as the convolution of the sequences x[n] and h[n].
The signal x[n] is applied as the input to a linear system whose responses
ℎ−1 𝑛𝑛 , ℎ0 𝑛𝑛 , and ℎ1 𝑛𝑛 to the signals 𝛿𝛿 𝑛𝑛 + 1 , 𝛿𝛿[𝑛𝑛] and 𝛿𝛿[𝑛𝑛 − 1], respectively
The response at time n of a linear
system is simply the superpositon
of responses due to the input
value at each point in time

Convolution is used to compute the output of LTI system
given input x[n] and impulse response h[n]
Example 2.1
Consider an LTI system with impulse response h[n] and input x[n].
The two echoes
of the impulse
response
needed to
generate y[n]
Solution:
∞ ∞
x[k ] ∗ h[k ] = ∑ x[k ]h[n − k ] = ∑ h[k ]x[n − k ] = h[k ] ∗ x[k ]
k = −∞ k = −∞
In continuous time
In discrete time
x[n] ∗ (ℎ1 [n]∗ ℎ2 [n]) = (x[n] ∗ ℎ1 [n]) ∗ ℎ2 [n]
In continuous time
x[t] ∗ (ℎ1 [t]∗ ℎ2 [t]) = (x[t] ∗ ℎ1 [t]) ∗ ℎ2 [t]

The overall system response does not depend upon the order of the systems in the
cascade.
Only applicable for linear time-invariant system (LTI). Not applicable to nonlinear
