Deconvolution

Deconvolution

Deconvolution, also known as inverse filtering, is the process of extracting the impulse response from known input and output signals. This technique is vital in scenarios where the system's characteristics are unknown, and they must be inferred from the observable signals.
Deconvolution involves several mathematical techniques to derive the impulse response. One common approach is polynomial division. In this method, the input and output sequences are treated as coefficients of...

Convolution: Math, Graphics, and Discrete Signals

Convolution: Math, Graphics, and Discrete Signals

In any LTI (Linear Time-Invariant) system, the convolution of two signals is denoted using a convolution operator, assuming all initial conditions are zero. The convolution integral can be divided into two parts: the zero-input or natural response and the zero-state or forced response, with t0 indicating the initial time.
To simplify the convolution integral, it is assumed that both the input signal and impulse response are zero for negative time values. The graphical convolution process...

Convolution Properties II

The important convolution properties include width, area, differentiation, and integration properties.
The width property indicates that if the durations of input signals are T1 and T2, then the width of the output response equals the sum of both durations, irrespective of the shapes of the two functions. For instance, convolving two rectangular pulses with durations of 2 seconds and 1 second results in a function with a width of 3 seconds.
The area property asserts that the area under the...

Convolution Properties I

Convolution computations can be simplified by utilizing their inherent properties.
The commutative property reveals that the input and the impulse response of an LTI (Linear Time-Invariant) system can be interchanged without affecting the output:

Vector Components in the Cartesian Coordinate System

Vector Components in the Cartesian Coordinate System

Vectors are usually described in terms of their components in a coordinate system. Even in everyday life, we naturally invoke the concept of orthogonal projections in a rectangular coordinate system. For example, if someone gives you directions for a particular location, you will be told to go a few km in a direction like east, west, north, or south, along with the angle in which you are supposed to move. In a rectangular (Cartesian) xy-coordinate system in a plane, a point in a plane is...

Vector or Cross Product

Vector or Cross Product

Vector multiplication of two vectors yields a vector product, with the magnitude equal to the product of the individual vectors multiplied by the sine of the angle between both the vectors and the direction perpendicular to both the individual vectors. As there are always two directions perpendicular to a given plane, one on each side, the direction of the vector product is governed by the right-hand thumb rule.
Consider the cross product of two vectors. Imagine rotating the first vector about...

Background:

The superposition technique for deconvoluting interatomic vector sets (Patterson function) suffers from vector overlaps.
These overlaps lead to multiple images and false peaks in superposition maps, hindering accurate analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a new method for complete deconvolution of the interatomic vector set.
To overcome the limitations of the superposition technique by addressing vector overlaps.

Main Methods:

A 'convolution table' is constructed from vectors within a superposition map.
The convolution table is sorted to separate vectors belonging to different images.
This sorting naturally resolves vector overlaps without relying on symmetry information.

Main Results:

The new method effectively deconvolves the interatomic vector set.
Vector overlaps, multiple images, and false peaks are successfully resolved.
The method provides a complete deconvolution without utilizing symmetry.

Conclusions:

The proposed convolution table method offers a complete solution for interatomic vector set deconvolution.
This approach enhances the accuracy of analyzing superposition maps by eliminating artifacts.
The method's independence from symmetry information broadens its applicability in structural determination.
