Convolution: Properties
• Commutativa (Proof):
𝑥 𝑡 ∗ 𝑦 𝑡 = 𝑦(𝑡) ∗ 𝑥(𝑡)
• Associative:
𝑥 𝑡 ∗𝑦 𝑡 ∗ 𝑧(𝑡) = 𝑥(𝑡) ∗ 𝑦(𝑡) ∗ 𝑧(𝑡)
• Distributive:
𝑥(𝑡) ∗ 𝑦 𝑡 + 𝑧 𝑡 = 𝑥(𝑡) ∗ 𝑦 𝑡 + 𝑥(𝑡) ∗ 𝑧 𝑡
• Shifting (Proof):
𝑥 𝑡 − 𝑇 ∗ 𝑦 𝑡 = 𝑥 𝑡 ∗ 𝑦(𝑡 − 𝑇)
Convolution: Properties
• Convolution with Dirac delta:
∞
𝑥 𝑡 ∗ 𝛿 𝑡 = න 𝑥 𝜏 𝛿 𝑡 − 𝜏 𝑑𝜏 = 𝑥(𝑡)
−∞
Then
𝛿 𝑡 ∗ 𝛿 𝑡 = 𝛿(𝑡)
Convolution: Properties
• Linearity:
[𝑥1 𝑡 + 𝑥2 𝑡 ] ∗ ℎ 𝑡 = 𝑥1 𝑡 ∗ ℎ 𝑡 + 𝑥2 𝑡 ∗ ℎ 𝑡
• Time invariance:
𝑥 𝑡 − 𝑡0 ∗ ℎ 𝑡 = 𝑦(𝑡 − 𝑡0 )
• Scaling:
1
𝑥 𝛼𝑡 ∗ ℎ 𝛼𝑡 = 𝑦(𝛼𝑡)
𝛼
• Special functions:
𝛿 𝑡 ∗ 𝑥 𝑡 = 𝑥(𝑡)

𝑢 𝑡 ∗ 𝑥 𝑡 = න 𝑥 𝜏 𝑑𝜏

Convolution: Properties
𝑢 𝑡 ∗𝑢 𝑡 =𝑟 𝑡
∞
𝑥 𝑡 ∗ 𝛿 𝑡 = න 𝑥 𝜏 𝛿 𝑡 − 𝜏 𝑑𝜏 = 𝑥(𝑡)
−∞
Then
𝛿 𝑡 ∗ 𝛿 𝑡 = 𝛿(𝑡)
Zero-State response
The basic pulse 𝑝(𝑡) is 1 unit height and Δ𝜏 width,
starts at 𝑡 = 0. The signals 𝑥(𝑡) can be represented as
the sum of rectangular pulses.
Zero-State response
𝑥 𝑡 = lim 𝑥 𝑛Δ𝜏 𝑝(𝑡 − 𝑛Δ𝜏)
Δ𝜏→0
𝜏
𝑝(𝑡 − 𝑛Δ𝜏)
= lim 𝑥 𝑛Δ𝜏 Δ𝜏
Δ𝜏→0 Δ𝜏
𝜏
Hence
∞
𝑦 𝑡 = lim 𝑥 𝑛Δ𝜏 ℎ(𝑡 − 𝑛Δ𝜏) Δ𝜏 = න 𝑥 𝜏 ℎ 𝑡 − 𝜏 𝑑𝜏 = 𝑥 𝑡 ∗ ℎ(𝑡)
Δ𝜏→0 −∞

Zero-State response
• CONCLUSION: The convolution produces the Zero-
State response in a LTI system.

𝑦 𝑡 = 𝑥 𝑡 ∗ [ℎ1 𝑡 + ℎ2 (𝑡)]
Zero-State response
The total output of the LTI system can be expressed as
follows:
𝑦 𝑡 = 𝑐𝑘 𝑒 𝜆𝑘𝑡 + 𝑥 𝑡 ∗ ℎ(𝑡)
𝑘=1
