Continuoustime fourier series in representing and analyzing linear, time invariant systems, our basic approach has been to decompose the system inputs into a linear combination of basic signals and exploit the fact that for a linear system the response is the same linear combination of the responses to the basic inputs.

Hence, convolution can be used to determine a linear time invariant systems output. Happens in signal processing and communications, will introduce this later. So for a linear time invariant system quite amazingly, actuallyif you know its response to an impulse at t 0 or n 0, depending on discrete or continuous time, then in fact, through the convolution sum in discrete time or the convolution integral in continuous time. So for a linear time invariant system quite amazingly, actuallyif you know its response to an impulse at t 0 or n 0, depending on discrete or continuous time, then in fact, through the convolution sum in discrete time or the convolution integral in continuous time, you can generate the response to an arbitrary input.
