4. System Response and Convolution The output response of a linear system can be obtained by solving the difference (differential) equations. The solution of the homogeneous equation provides the transient response and the particular (non-homogeneous) solution the steady-state response of the system. This is tedious and difficult for higher order systems (but can be done!). However provides little information about the characteristics of the system. In most cases we can obtain the output response and useful information about the system from the impulse response. 4.1 Representation of Si
