\( h \)

Short Description

This symbol represent the impulse response, the output signal of a system when exposed to an impulse.

Medium Description

This symbol represent the impulse response, the output signal of a system when exposed to an impulse. This encompasses both finite (FIR) and infinite (IIR) responses, characterizing the system's reaction to a specific, typically singular, input. The unit impulse response is a special case where the input is zero at all times except for one instant when it equals one.

Long Description

The symbol \(h\) represents the impulse response, the output signal of a system when exposed to an impulse. This encompasses both finite (FIR) and infinite (IIR) responses, characterizing the system's reaction to a specific, typically singular, input. The unit impulse response is a special case where the input is zero at all times except for one instant when it equals one, serving as a useful tool when trying to design and understand signal processing systems.
