Convolution

AIM :
To demonstrate convolution in both continuous and discrete-time systems and
observe its effects on signals through Simulation.

APPARATUS REQUIRED:
MAT LAB Version

THEORY:

Convolution:

Convolution is a mathematical operation that combines two functions to produce a third


function. It expresses how the shape of one function is modified by another. In the context
of signals and systems, convolution is used to determine the output of a linear time-
invariant (LTI) system when given an input signal and the system's impulse response.

Continuous-time convolution:

● Definition:
Convolution is a mathematical operation that combines two signals to produce a
third signal. In continuous-time systems, it's represented by the integral:

Explanation

x(t): The input signal.


h(t): The impulse response of the system.
y(t): The output signal resulting from the convolution.

τ : A dummy variable of integration.

Interpretation:

Convolution can be thought of as "sliding" the impulse response h(t)


across the input signal x(t) and integrating the product at each time instant. The
result is the output signal y(t).

Convolution in Discrete-Time Systems:

● Definition:

Similar to continuous-time, convolution in discrete-time systems is


represented by the sum:

Explanation

x[n]: The input signal.


h[n]: The impulse response of the system.
y[n]: The output signal resulting from the convolution.
k: A dummy variable of summation.

Interpretation:

Convolution in discrete-time can be visualized as "flipping" the impulse


response h[n] and sliding it across the input sequence x[n], summing the products at
each time index.

Applications of Convolution:

● Signal processing: Filtering, modulation, demodulation, and correlation.


● Image processing: Edge detection, image blurring, and sharpening.
● Control systems: System analysis and design.
● Communication systems: Channel equalization and matched filtering.

Convolution for continuous signal

% convolution of tu(t) and u(t)

% Define variables
syms t tau

% Define the signals


x = tau * heaviside(tau); % Signal x(tau) = tau * u(tau)
h = heaviside(t - tau); % Signal h(t - tau) = u(t - tau)

% Convolution integral
y = int(x * h, tau, -inf, inf); % Convolution integral over –infinity to +infinity

% Simplify the result


y_simplified = simplify(y); % refer this function in matlab help

% Display the convolution result


disp('The convolution result y(t) = tu(t) * u(t) is:');
disp(y_simplified);

Matlab Output :

The convolution result y(t) = tu(t) * u(t) is:

(t^2*heaviside(t))/2

% Perform the convolution manually using nested loops


for i = 1:x1 % Loop through each element of x[n]
for j = 1:h1 % Loop through each element of h[n]
y(i + j - 1) = y(i + j - 1) + x(i) * h(j); % Multiply and accumulate the result
