I know that the impulse response "h" represents the LTI systems response to a impulse signal δ.
**************
δ * * h
------------> * Discrete LTI * --------------->
* System * y
* *
**************
Dumb question #1. Is h; the impulse response also y the output?
Dumb question #2. If h is the impulse response you get from inputting a impulse function δ into the system then how is convolution applied in obtaining h? What/where is the second signal that gets convoluted with δ?
I ask because a signals tutorial I am using has a convolution formula:
∞
h = ∑ x(j) * δ(n-j) = x * δ
-∞
and i see the impulse function gets convolved with x? so does that mean the impulse response h = impulse function δ * the impulse response h?
Please help me with clarifying this concept.
