Representation of Discrete-Time Signals
in Terms of Impulses
• Think of a discrete-time signal as a sequence of individual impulses.
Representation of Discrete-Time
Signals in Terms of Impulses
a linear combination of shifted unit impulses o[n- k],
where the weights in this linear combination are x[k].

Represent the following signal in terms of impulses
Discrete-Time LTI systems: the convolution sum
The convolution sum is the mathematical relationship that links the
input and output signals in any linear time-invariant discrete-time
system.
Given an LTI system and an input signal x[n], the convolution sum will
allow us to compute the corresponding output signal y[n] of the system
Example 1:
Consider an LTI system with impulse response h[n] and input x[n], determine y[n]
