DT LTI Systems and Convolution) CONVOLUTION SUM FROM)
Discrete-time systems that are linear and time invariant often are referred to as LTI systems. LTI
systems comprise a very important class of systems, and they can be described by a standard
mathematical formalism. To each LTI system there corresponds a signal h[n] such that the inputoutput
behavior of the system is described by
This expression is called the convolution sum representation for LTI systems. In addition, the
sifting property easily shows that h[n] is the response of the system to a unit-pulse input signal.
That is, for x[n] = δ[n]
Thus the input-output behavior of a discrete-time, linear, time-invariant system is completely
described by the unit-pulse response of the system. If h[n] is known, then the response to any input
can be computed from the convolution sum.
Derivation It is straightforward to show that a system described by the convolution sum, with
specified h[n], is a linear and time-invariant system. Linearity is clear, and to show time invariance,
consider a shifted input signal xˆ[n] = x[n − no]. The system response to this input signal is given by
To rewrite this expression, change the summation index from k to l = k − N, to obtain
This establishes time invariance.
