* LTI system theory

LTI system theory describes linear time-invariant ( LTI ) filters of all types.

** LTI system theory

Most real systems have non-linear input / output characteristics, but many systems, when operated within nominal parameters ( not " over-driven ") have behavior that is close enough to linear that LTI system theory is an acceptable representation of the input / output behavior.

While any LTI system can be described by some transfer function or another,

Here is the time-domain impulse response of the LTI system and,,, are the Laplace transforms of the input, output, and impulse response, respectively.

is called the transfer function of the LTI system and, as does the impulse response,, fully defines the input-output characteristics of the LTI system.

the output of such an LTI system is very well approximated as

It can be shown that for an LTI system with transfer function driven by a complex sinusoid of unit amplitude,

An LTI system is completely specified by its transfer function ( which is a rational function for digital and lumped analog LTI systems ).

Alternatively, we can think of an LTI system being completely specified by its frequency response.

A third way to specify an LTI system is by its characteristic linear differential equation ( for analog systems ) or linear difference equation ( for digital systems ).

A lumped LTI system is specified by a finite number of parameters, be it the zeros and poles of its transfer function, or the coefficients of its differential equation, whereas specification of a distributed LTI system requires a complete function

For time-invariant systems this is the basis of the impulse response or the frequency response methods ( see LTI system theory ), which describe a general input function in terms of unit impulses or frequency components.

Though we most often express filters as the impulse response of convolution systems, as above ( see LTI system theory ), it is easiest to think of the matched filter in the context of the inner product, which we will see shortly.

* LTI system theory

Linear time-invariant system theory, commonly known as LTI system theory, comes from applied mathematics and has direct applications in NMR spectroscopy, seismology, circuits, signal processing, control theory, and other technical areas.

Trajectories of these systems are commonly measured and tracked as they move through time ( e. g., an acoustic waveform ), but in applications like image processing and field theory, the LTI systems also have trajectories in spatial dimensions.

The fundamental result in LTI system theory is that any LTI system can be characterized entirely by a single function called the system's impulse response.

The Routh – Hurwitz stability criterion is a necessary and sufficient method to establish the stability of a single-input, single-output ( SISO ), linear time invariant ( LTI ) control system.

The bilinear transform is a special case of a conformal mapping ( namely, the Möbius transformation ), often used to convert a transfer function of a linear, time-invariant ( LTI ) filter in the continuous-time domain ( often called an analog filter ) to a transfer function of a linear, shift-invariant filter in the discrete-time domain ( often called a digital filter although there are analog filters constructed with switched capacitors that are discrete-time filters ).

Using an oscilloscope that can plot one signal against another ( as opposed to one signal against time ) to plot the output of an LTI system against the input to the LTI system produces an ellipse that is a Lissajous figure for the special case of a = b. The aspect ratio of the resulting ellipse is a function of the phase shift between the input and output, with an aspect ratio of 1 ( perfect circle ) corresponding to a phase shift of and an aspect ratio of ( a line ) corresponding to a phase shift of 0 or 180 degrees.

The distinction between lumped and distributed LTI systems is important.

Most LTI system concepts are similar between the continuous-time and discrete-time ( linear shift-invariant ) cases.

A linear time-invariant ( LTI ) filter can be uniquely specified by its impulse response h, and the output of any filter is mathematically expressed as the convolution of the input with that impulse response.

This is like convolution used in LTI systems to find the output of a system, when you know the input and impulse response.

When the input to an LTI system is sinusoidal, the output is sinusoidal with the same frequency, but it may have a different amplitude and some phase shift.

An exponentially stable LTI system is one that will not " blow up " ( i. e., give an unbounded output ) when given a finite input or non-zero initial condition.

LTI systems cannot produce frequency components that are not in the input.

If a linear time invariant ( LTI ) system's impulse response is to be measured using a MLS, the response can be extracted from the measured system output y by taking its circular cross-correlation with the MLS.

By examining a simple integrator circuit it can be demonstrated that when a function is put into a linear time-invariant ( LTI ) system, an output can be characterized by a superposition or sum of the Zero Input Response and the zero state response.

The term is often used exclusively to refer to linear, time-invariant systems ( LTI ), as covered in this article.

In fact, although the system is nonlinear in general, the idealized ( i. e., non-chattering ) behavior of the system in Figure 1 when confined to the surface is an LTI system with an exponentially stable origin.

Any system in a large class known as linear, time-invariant ( LTI ) is completely characterized by its impulse response.

Suppose that the system is a discrete-time, linear, time-invariant ( LTI ) system described by the impulse response.

The cascade of two LTI systems is a convolution.
