Introduction
Convolution is a mathematical way of combining two signals to form a thirdMarch, signal.13Itthis2014
the
single most important technique in Digital Signal Processing. Using the strategy of impulse
decomposition, systems are described by a signal called the impulse response. Convolution
is important because it relates the three signals of interest: the input signal, the output
signal, and the impulse response.

Consider a causal FIR filter of order M with impulse response h[n], n = 0, 1, . . . , M; an input
signal x[n] and an output signal y[n], the direct and LTI forms of convolution are given by:

While n is the range of values of the output index, and m is the precise range of summation.

Matlab codes
% Input x[n] March, 13th 2014
x = input('Input the length of first matrix:');
for i=1:x
string = fprintf('x[%d]',i-1);
x(i) = input(':');
end

% Input h[n]
h = input('Input the length of second matrix:');
for i=1:h
string = fprintf('h[%d]',i-1);
h(i) = input(':');
end

% Show the results


disp('Convolution of the two matrices is:');
y = conv(x,h)

With following ( given) inputs:

- x[n]={-2,1,3,4,0,3,2,-4,5,-2}
- h[n]={-3,-2,1,4,-1}

The result shown on the display is:

y=6 1 -13 -25 1 6 1 7 7 -3 -9 22 -13 2

These results are the same as the ones done by hand.


Source codes
Only the modification of main.c ( as being shown below) is needed.
March, 13th 2014
#include "stdio.h"
#include "usbstk5515.h"
void main( )
{
int x[50],h[50],y[50];
int i,j,m,n;

// Input lengths of x[n] and h[n]


printf("\n Enter length of x(n): ");
scanf("%d", &m);
printf("\n Enter length of y(n): ");
scanf("%d", &n);

// Input elements of x[n] and h[n]


printf ("\n Input elements of x(n):\n");
for (i=0;i<m;i++)
scanf("%d",&x[i]);
printf ("\n Input elements of h(n):\n");
for (i=0;i<n;i++)
scanf("%d",&h[i]);

5 // Assign 0s to expand x[n] and h[n] Lab 3 report


for(i=m;i<=m+n-1;i++) x[i]=0;// length of h[n]: m + n - 1
for(i=n;i<=m+n-1;i++) h[i]=0;

// Do the discrete convolution using the definition formula


for(i=0;i<m+n-1;i++)
{
y[i]=0;
for(j=0;j<=i;j++)
{
y[i]=y[i]+(x[j]*h[i-j]); }
}

// Show the results


printf("x(n) (*) h(n) = y[n]");
for (i=0;i<m+n-1;i++) printf("\n y[%d] = %d",i,y[i]);
return 0;
}

Using the same x[n] and h[n] as above, the result shown on the display is:

y=6 1 -13 -25 1 6 1 7 7 -3 -9 22 -13 2


The results are matched!

Common questions

Powered by AI

Using both Matlab and TMS320C5515 eZDSP provides a comprehensive learning experience by allowing students to understand both theoretical and practical aspects of convolution. Matlab offers a quick, abstracted view useful for initial learning, while the hardware approach provides insight into low-level operations, reinforcing understanding through implementation detail .

The Matlab implementation prompts the user to input the lengths and elements of two matrices. It uses a for loop to input signal values, and the 'conv' function is used to calculate and display the convolution result .

Based on the insights gained, advancements could include developing interactive simulation platforms that integrate both software and hardware elements, providing real-time visualization of convolution processes, and fostering deeper engagement through tangible experimentation .

The impulse response is crucial because it characterizes the system being analyzed. In convolution, it allows the combination with an input signal to produce the output signal, effectively describing how the system responds to different inputs .

The report concluded that the results from Matlab and TMS320C5515 eZDSP implementations matched each other, confirming the correctness and reliability of both approaches for performing convolution operations .

Input decomposition into simpler signals like impulses is crucial as it allows for the calculation of convolutions by determining system response to these basic inputs, subsequently summing these responses to achieve the overall output .

The report suggests that the experiments provided insights into how computers handle convolution operations, equipping students with practical knowledge that may apply to future experiments and enhancing their understanding of signal processing .

The TMS320C5515 eZDSPTM USB Stick uses C-based code to perform convolutions manually through loops and array manipulations, expanding input arrays with zeros and applying the discrete convolution formula, as opposed to Matlab's straightforward 'conv' function .

Impulse decomposition is significant because it simplifies complex systems into a set of simple impulsive signals. This approach allows for easier calculation and understanding of system behavior through convolution, as it focuses on the response to simple impulses, enabling the synthesis of complex outputs .

Convolution is described as the single most important technique in Digital Signal Processing because it combines two signals to form a third one, relating the input signal, output signal, and impulse response .
