Building Signals With Blocks:
The notion of building complex signals using elementary signals – metaphorical “blocks” – is central to many signal processing tools, such as Fourier transforms, wavelet transforms, and principle component analysis. The details of these different tools vary and can appear complex. This lesson presents a unified, big picture view of this topic that will help […]
Graphical Evaluation of Discrete-Time Convolution
Blog post: Convolution of Signals: Why? Convolution expresses the output of a linear time-invariant system in terms of the system's impulse response and the input. In this lesson you will learn a graphical approach to evaluating convolution. Learning how to interpret convolution graphically will develop your intuition for understanding how the impulse response characteristics impact […]
Graphical Evaluation of Continuous-Time Convolution
Convolution expresses the output of a linear time-invariant system in terms of the system's impulse response and the input. In this lesson you will learn a graphical approach to evaluating convolution for continuous-time systems. Learning how to interpret convolution graphically will develop your intuition for understanding how the impulse response characteristics impact the system output. […]
