CAT II EENG 482

1. Research and explain at least four areas where convolution is applied in signal processing.
(4 marks)
2. In your own view, why do you think Fourier Transform is preferred when carrying out signal
processing? (2 marks)
1 𝑛
3. Let 𝑤[𝑛] denote the convolution of ℎ[𝑛] and 𝑠[𝑛], where h[n] =(2) 𝑢[𝑛] is causal
1
sequence. If 𝑤[0] = 1 and 𝑤[1] = 2, find the value of 𝑠[2].
Hint: Given that 𝑠[𝑛] is causal sequence, it means 𝑠[𝑛] = {𝑠[0], 𝑠[1], 𝑠[2], 𝑠[3], … }
