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:

Inverse z-Transform by Partial Fraction Expansion

Inverse z-Transform by Partial Fraction Expansion

The inverse z-transform is a crucial technique for converting a function from its z-domain representation back to the time domain. One effective method for finding the inverse z-transform is the Partial Fraction Method, which involves decomposing a function into simpler fractions with distinct coefficients. These fractions correspond to known z-transform pairs, facilitating the inverse transformation process.
To begin the process, the poles of the function are identified and the function is...

Reconstruction of Signal using Interpolation

Reconstruction of Signal using Interpolation

Signal processing techniques are essential for accurately converting continuous signals to digital formats and vice versa. When a continuous signal is sampled with a period T, the resulting sampled signal exhibits replicas of the original spectrum in the frequency domain, spaced at intervals equal to the sampling frequency. To handle this sampled signal, a zero-order hold method can be applied, which creates a piecewise constant signal by retaining each sample's value until the next sampling...
