Abstract—This experiment focuses on the Digital Signal Initially, the characteristics of the two signals were studied by
Processing technique, Convolution and its application in the plotting the waveforms of the two signals. Then the convolution
evaluation of the output of a linear, time-invariant continuous- integral was calculated. The convolution integral was then calculated
time system. The experiment illustrates this signal processing for varying time-shifts and the integral evaluated at a particular
technique by the convolution of an input signal and an
exponential response signal to give the output signal and
instance of time-shift gave the value of system output y(t) at that
analyses the result by plotting the waveforms of input signal, time instance. Continuing this for all values of time in the continuous
impulse response as well as the output signal. time interval, we get the values of y(t) at each instance of time and
ultimately obtain the definition of the system output signal.
II. THEORY
x3 = conv(x1,x2);
In an LTI system with input f(t) and impulse response g(t), we
get the output y(t) as follows: n3 = length(x3);
t1= 0:1:n3-1;
subplot(3,1,1);
plot(t,x1);
xlabel('time(t)');
ylabel('x1(t)');
Here, * is the convolution operator. title('signal x1(t)');
An impulse response of an LTI system is the output of the
system when the input is d(t) where d(t) is the unit impulse subplot(3,1,2);
signal also called the delta function. Convolution operation on plot(t,x2);
two signals mainly involves time inversion and time shifting of xlabel('time(t)');
one signal and the continuous-time integral of the product of the ylabel('x2(t)');
flipped and shifted signal with the second signal. title('signal x2(t)');
VI. ACKNOWLEDGMENT
I would like to express my thankfulness to my respected teacher
Dr. Nanda Bikram Adhikari for providing with the opportunity to
self-study and analyze the signal properties in MATLAB.
Moreover, I would also like to be thankful to my friends for
helping me whenever I got problems during this lab.
