Lecture 9 Blog, ECE301 Spring 2011, Prof. Boutin

Monday January 31, 2011 (Week 4) - See Course Schedule.

We began Lecture 9 with an example where we computed the output of a CT LTI system using the convolution (integral) of the input with the unit impulse response. We then began discussing the properties of LTI systems that are a direct corollary of the properties of the convolution operation.

Action items before the next lecture:

• Read Section 2.4 in the book.
• Keep working on the third homework.
• By popular demand, I added more practice problems related to the convolution sum.
  • Here is one.
  • Here is another one.
  • And another one.
  • And another one.
  • And another one.
  • And another one.
  • And another one.
• You should also try the practice problem for the CT convolution:
  • Compute the output of the following CT LTI system
