Consider the signal x(t) = 2 sinc(6t + 3). the output y (t) = (x *h )(t) when x(t) is passed through a filter with impulse response h (t) = 4sinc(2t -1).

100%

can you explain to me why the convolution of these two sinc fucntions which are rect functions equal a rect function? I thought when you convolute a rectangle and a rectangle with two different lengths, it makes a trapezoid shape. The answer says it is rectangle funtion so my code is corrcect but i dont understand why this is true. I need a step by step solution and explanation.

 

here is the problem: Consider the signal x(t) = 2 sinc(6t + 3).
the output y (t) = (x *h )(t) when x(t) is
passed through a filter with impulse response h (t) = 4sinc(2t -1). the matlab code was just to help me visuallize
