| | Dirac delta function - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Dirac delta function, often referred to as the unit impulse function and introduced by the British theoretical physicist Paul Dirac, can usually be informally thought of as a function δ(x) that has the value of infinity for x = 0, the value zero elsewhere. |
 | | Dirac functions can be of any size in which case their 'strength' A is defined by duration multiplied by amplitude. |
 | | A so-called uniform "pulse train" of Dirac delta measures, which is known as a Dirac comb,or as the shah distribution, creates a sampling function, often used in digital signal processing (DSP) and discrete time signal analysis. |
