CHAPTER OBJECTIVES
• To extend the concepts of linear circuit
analysis in time-domain to higher order
circuits.
• To emphasise the important properties
exhibited by n
th
order linear time-invariant
circuits arising out of linearity and
time-invariance properties of circuit elements
in them.
• To show that any arbitrary input source func-
tion can be expanded in terms of scaled and
shifted impulse functions.
• To show that the zero-state response of a lin-
ear time-invariant circuit to an arbitrary
input source function can be obtained from
its impulse response through the convolution
integral.
• To provide a graphical interpretation of time-
domain convolution ...
