6.003: Signals and Systems Frequency Response March 4, 2010 Review Last time, we saw how a linear, time-invariant (LTI) system can be characterized by its unit-sample/impulse response. ∞ DT: y [n] = (x ∗ h)[n] = � x [k]h[n − k] k=−∞ CT: y (t) = (x ∗ h)(t) = � ∞ x(τ )h(t − τ )dτ −∞ Characterizing a system by its unit-sample/impulse response is es­ pecially insightful for some systems. Microscope Blurring can be represented by convolving the image with the optical “point-spread-function” (3D impulse response). target image ∗ = Blurring is inversely related to the diameter of the lens.

Many systems are naturally described by their responses to sinusoids. Example: audio systems Check Yourself How were frequencies modified in following music clips?
