Explanatory notes:

  • represents the Heaviside step function.
  • represents the Dirac delta function.
  • represents the Gamma function.
  • is the Euler-Mascheroni constant.

  • , a real number, typically represents time,
    although it can represent any independent dimension.
  • is the complex angular frequency.
  • , , , and are real numbers.
  • is an integer.
  • A causal system is a system where the impulse response h(t) is zero for all time t prior to t = 0. In general, the ROC for causal systems is not the same as the ROC for anticausal systems. See also causality.
