Graphical Convolution Example
Graphical Convolution Example
Example
h(t)
Replace t with
Choose h () to be flipped and
slided from left to the right of
x() as shown below
h(t
-)

Graphical Convolution
Example
Convolution can be
divided into 5 parts
I.
t<1
Two functions do not
overlap
Area under the
product of the
functions is zero
II.
1t<3
Part of h(t) overlaps
part of x(t)
Area under the
product of the
functions is (t-1)

Graphical Convolution
Example
III.
3t<5
h(t) is leaving x(t)
between the
time interval 3 and
5
Area under the
product is
3-(t - 2) = 5 - t
IV.
t<5
h(t) and x(t) do not
overlap
Area under their
product is zero
