What is impulse response H N?
The function h[n] is called the impulse response of the system. It is the output (response) of the system when the input is a delta function (impulse). Our focus is on seeing whether we can use our knowledge that the output is h[n] when the input is δ[n] to predict what output we will get for some other inputs.
What is the impulse response H T for this system?
Key Concept: The impulse response of a system is given by the transfer function. If the transfer function of a system is given by H(s), then the impulse response of a system is given by h(t) where h(t) is the inverse Laplace Transform of H(s).
Do non LTI systems have impulse response?
if the system is not LTI, i would think that the impulse response has less meaning than it does for an LTI system where the impulse response completely characterizes the system from an input-output perspective. you could not say as much form the impulse response of a system that is not LTI.
How do you derive impulse response?
Given the system equation, you can find the impulse response just by feeding x[n] = δ[n] into the system. If the system is linear and time-invariant (terms we’ll define later), then you can use the impulse response to find the output for any input, using a method called convolution that we’ll learn in two weeks.
Which is an example of an impulse response to LTI?
For example an ideal lowpass filter, being an LTI system, has the impulse response of the form h [ n] = sin ( ω c n) π n which is non-causal and has infinite length. That system however does not have an LCCDE representation; it can not be exactly realized in a computational form, will only be approximated.
How can you tell if a system is LTI?
In other words: if a system is LTI, then in theory there exists an impulse response than relates inputs and outputs. Symmetrically, given an impulse response defined by coefficient at lag n, you can assume that the system is LTI, even if other systems can provide responses to an impulse.
Can a linear system provide an impulse response?
Symmetrically, given an impulse response defined by coefficient at lag n, you can assume that the system is LTI, even if other systems can provide responses to an impulse. Nota: for theoretical systems (like in exercices), it is easy to constrain the LTI property.
How to calculate the impulse response of Y ( T )?
Y ( t) = h ( t) ∗ X ( t) = X ( t) ∗ h ( t). Note that as the name suggests, the impulse response can be obtained if the input to the system is chosen to be the unit impulse function (delta function) x ( t) = δ ( t).
