Exercise · ZW-IMPULSE-RESPONSE-005 · ★☆☆ Basic
Which operation combines the input \(x[n]\) with the response \(h[n]\) to produce the output?
Choose one option.
Show answer
- A. Convolution
Explanation
The output of an LTI system is the convolution of the input with the impulse response. Pointwise multiplication is a different operation that does not apply to LTI systems in time.
Review the concept: Impulse response
The impulse response \(h[n]\) is the output of an LTI system when its input is the unit impulse \(\delta[n]\).
\[y[n]=\sum_{k=-\infty}^{\infty} x[k]\,h[n-k]\]
