complex convolution

Dear All, 


I would like to convolve two complex sequences. Could anybody help me 
how to define the convolution of two complex sequences please? 


Thanks in advanced. 


Regard,

Hi,

If we have two complex numbers f and g, 

  f = f_x + i*f_y
  g = g_x + i*g_y,

where _x and _y are the real and imaginary
components of the numbers, respectively, then 

  f * g = (f_x + i*f_y) * (g_x + i*g_y)
        = (f_x*g_x - f_y*g_y) + i*(f_y*g_x + f_x*g_y).

Now expand this idea into f and g being two functions
and you'll be a step further. Place that result into
the convolution integral and you'll be done.

Hi Randy,


As you explain we have two form:

 f * g = (f_x + i*f_y) * (g_x + i*g_y)
        = (f_x*g_x - f_y*g_y) + i*(f_y*g_x + f_x*g_y).

in real and imaginary part.

I am still dont understand how to calculate convolution if we have two
part : real and imaginary. Am I just calculate use the general
convolution formula?

y(n) = h(k).x(n-k)

What is the convolution ouput for will be? in real part only or in
complex form ?


Thanks.

Yes, and use the fact that \int(a + i*b)dt = \int(a)dt + i*\int(b)dt.

Complex.
