Convolution in Discrete time of a function with Impulse with delay?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the convolution of a discrete-time function involving the impulse function, specifically the expression c[k] = (0.5)^k * delta(k-1). Participants clarify that when dealing with delta(k-1), one effective method is to substitute u = k - 1, solve the convolution, and then revert to the original variable. This approach allows for a clear understanding of the convolution process in discrete time systems.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of discrete-time signals
  • Familiarity with the impulse function (delta function)
  • Basic knowledge of convolution operations
  • Ability to manipulate mathematical expressions and substitutions
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the properties of the delta function in signal processing

  • Explore substitution techniques in mathematical problem-solving
  • Investigate applications of convolution in digital signal processing
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in electrical engineering, signal processing enthusiasts, and anyone looking to deepen their understanding of convolution in discrete-time systems.

Here is convolution:

c[k]= (0.5)^k * delta(k-1)

What do I do about delta(k-1)?
I know if it is c[k]= (0.5)^k * delta(k), then it just equal (0.5)^k

But what do I do with delta(k-1)?

Hi Kdar! Welcome to PF! :smile:

(have a delta: δ and try using the X2 tag just above the Reply box :wink:)

One method is to substitute u = k - 1, solve it, then substitute back again. :smile:
 
Why not start from the definition then go with it?
