Low Pass Filter Leo Lam © Consider an ideal low-pass filter with frequency response w 0 H() What is h(t)? (Impulse response) Looks like an octopus centered around time t = 0 Not causal…can’t build a circuit.

Low Pass Filter Leo Lam © Consider an ideal low-pass filter with frequency response w 0 H() What is y(t) if input is: Ideal filter, so everything above is gone: y(t)

Output determination Example Leo Lam © Solve for y(t) Convert input and impulse function to Fourier domain: Invert Fourier using known transform:

Describing Signals (just a summary) Leo Lam © C k and X() tell us the CE’s (or cosines) that are needed to build a time signal x(t) –CE with frequency  (or k 0 ) has magnitude |C k | or |X()| and phase shift <C k and <X() –FS and FT difference is in whether an uncountably infinite number of CEs are needed to build the signal. -B-BB  t x(t) X()
