Convolution
First, the input signal can be substitute into a set of impulse, each of which can be
viewed as a scaled and shifted delta function. Second, the output resulting from each impulse is
a scale shifted version of the impulse response. Third, the overall output signal can be found by
adding these scaled and shifted impulse responses.
Imagine two functions f and g. The purpose of the operation is to shift g over f. The resulting
amount overlap that occurs when g is shifted over f is the convolution of f and g. Because of the
nature of convolution, the resulting integral is a “blending” of f and g. he symbol “*” will refer
to convolution .This can be expressed in the following finite integral:
Fourier series
Figure 1
Using the method for a generalized Fourier series, the usual Fourier series involving sines and
cosines is obtained by taking f_1(x)=cosx and f_2(x)=sinx. Since these functions form a
complete orthogonal system over [-pi,pi], the Fourier series of a function f(x) is given by
Fourier transform
The reverse (inverse) Fourier transform convert a spectrum into a temporal signal.
