can be written as a weighted sum of delayed impulse response coefficients. Until this point, we have only considered time domain representations of signals. Recall a sinusoid can be written as a complex exponential functions, and as it turns out, complex exponential sequences are eigenfunctions of a LTI system. Eigenfunctions for LTI Systems To demonstrate the eigenfunction property of LTI systems, let x[n] = ejωn, then y[n] = ∞ k=−∞ h[k]ejω(n−k) = ejωn ∞ k=−∞ h[k]e−jωk If H(ejω) = ∞ k=−∞ h[k]e−jωk, then y[n] = H(ejω)ejωn Thus, ejωn is an eigenfunction with a corresponding eigenvalue H(ejω). Furthermore, for convenience, we may write H(ejω) as |H(ejω)|ej∠H(ejω). Deterministic Digital Signal Processing
