Convolution:

Convolution is a mathematical operation which can be perform on two signals 'f'


and 'g' to produce a third signal which is typically viewed as the modified
version of one of the original signals. A convolution is an integral that express
the overlap of one signal 'g' as it is shifted over another signal 'f'.
Convolution of two signals 'f' and 'g' over a finite range [0 → t] can be defined
as

Here the symbol [f*g](t) denotes the convolution of 'f' and


'g'. Convolution is more often taken over an infinite range like,

The convolution of two discrete time signals f(n)


and g(n) over an infinite range can be defined as

The convolution of two continuous time signals are


shown in the Figure 1.

Convolution properties:

There are some important properties of convolution that perform on continuous


time signal which we have listed below. The commutativity, associativity,
distributivity properties are given below.

Commutativity f(t) * g(t) = g(t) * f(t)


Associativity [f(t) * g(t)] * h(t) = f(t) * [g(t) * h(t)]
Distributivity f(t) * [g(t) + h(t)] = f(t) * g(t) + f(t) * h(t)

Correlation:

So far in the above discussion we have discussed about the convolution of two
continous time signals which is used to find the output y(t) of a system.
Correlation is a mathematical operation that closely resembles convolution.
Correlation is basically used to compare two signals. Correlation is the measure
of the degree to which two signals are similar. The correlation of two signals is
divided into two ways: (i) Cross-correlation, (ii) Auto-correlation.

Cross-correlation:

Cross correlation is a measure of similarity between two waveforms as a


function of time gap or delay applied to one of them. The cross correlation
between a pair of continuous time signals f(t) and g(t) is given by

where

The index T and k are the shift parameters for continuous time and discrete time
signals respectively. The order of subscripts 'fg' indicates that f(t) or f(n) are the
reference sequence in continuous-time and discrete-time respectively that
remains unshifted in time whereas the sequence g(t) or g(n) are shifted '' or 'k'
units in time with respect to f(t) or f(n) respectively.
If we want to fix g(t) and to shift f(t), then the correlation of two sequences can
be written as

and similarly for discrete time signal

From the above equation(3) we find that the correlation process is essentially the
convolution of two data sequence in which one of the sequence has been
reversed.

Auto-correlation:

Auto correlation of a continuous time signal is the correlation of the signal with
itself. The auto correlation of a continuous time signal f(t) is defined as

Relation to Signal energy and Signal power:

The auto-correlation function of a periodic signal is itself a periodic signal with


a period the same as that of the original signal.
If f(t) is an energy signal, its auto-correlation is

for continuous-time and discrete-time respectively which is the average signal


power of the signal.

Properties of Auto-correlation:

The auto-correlation depends on the choice of the amount of shift applied. we


can say from the observation that the value of the auto-correlation can never be
bigger than it is at zero shift. That is,

It will happen because at a zero shift, the correlation with itself is obviously as
large as it can get since the shifted and unshifted versions coincide.
Another property of auto-correlation function is that all auto-correlation
functions are even functions (but not all correlation functions).
be the auto-correlation
function of a discrete-
time energy signal
f[n]. Then
Now let y[n] = f [n-
n0] . Then

Another characteristic of auto-correlation


function is that the auto-correlation of a sum
of sinusoids of different frequencies is the
sum of auto-correlation
Now we can make a change of variable q = n-n0 . Then
of the individual
sinusoids. To demonstrate this idea let a continuous-
time power signal f(t) be a sum of two sinusoids f1(t)
and f2(t), where

The auto-correlation of this signal is
