  YMEC software - Realtime Analyzer Program Manual - Impulse response measurement guide
For example, when the impulse (a very short sound with a flat frequency response) is emitted from the stage of a concert hall, the time series of the reflected sound is recorded at the audience seat.
Impulse response is widely used for investigating the acoustical properties of sound fields, such as concert halls, recording studios, and listening rooms.
Once the impulse response is gained, the transfer function (frequency response function) between the sound source and the listening point is obtained by the Fourier transform.

  Infinite impulse response - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
IIR (Infinite impulse response) Filters have an impulse response function which is non-zero over an infinite length of time.
This is in contrast to finite impulse response filters (FIR) which have fixed-duration impulse responses.
This feedback results in an unending impulse response characterized by either exponentially growing, decaying, or sinusoidal signal output components.

 Impulse-Response Representation
In addition to difference-equation coefficients, any LTI filter may be represented in the time domain by its response to a specific signal called the impulse.
This response is called, naturally enough, the impulse response of the filter.
In the physical world, an impulse may be approximated by a swift hammer blow (in the mechanical case) or balloon pop (acoustic case).

The usefulness of the impulse technique lies in the fact that the energy in an impulse is distributed continuously in the frequency domain rather than occurring at discrete spectral lines as in the case of periodic signals.
The response to overloads is important because it is desirable to have the amplitude of the force and response signals as high as possible relative to the input range of the equipment in order to minimize noise, and variations in the impacting can frequently cause overloading.
The frequency response was measured for the grinder both with the spindle rotating and with it stationary.

 ITS: Radio Channel Impulse Response Measurement Systems
The purpose of multiple impulse measurements is to quantify the varying filter characteristics of the communication channel along both the time and spacial dimensions.
Modeling of the impulse response has also been used for the simulation of the radio channel which, in turn, can determine the effects of the propagation channel on the signal itself.
In addition, the impulse response, once determined, can be used to simulate the actual received signal as it is distorted through the propagation channel by convolving the impulse response with the transmitted signal.

However, since the channel impulse response coefficients on both sides of the fading incursion are correlated with one another, it is quite possible to use the estimated channel impulse responses on the left-hand side to deduce those on the right-hand side of the fading incursion.
An estimated channel impulse response h.sub.i (k) is assigned to each sector A.sub.i in the k-th step; this estimated value of the channel impulse response is used for the detection of the sector.

We used that fact to show that the impulse response is simply the derivative of the step response - this is probably the method you should use for the next week or two.
Both the impulse response and the step response are zero-state responses (i.e., the initial conditions are equal to zero).
Both are based on representing the input as a sum (or integral) of impulses, and representing the output as the sum (or integral) of the responses to the inputs.

Simple filters are usually defined by their responses to the individual frequency components that constitute the input signal.
A filter's response to different frequencies is characterized as passband, transition band, or stopband.
The passband response is the filter's effect on frequency components that are passed through (mostly) unchanged.

Since the loaded impulse response file can be either a mono, a stereo or a multi-channel file, you have the option of choosing which impulse response file's channel (Chn) you wish to assign to this convolution channel.
For the tonal balance of these impulse responses to be preserved, the pre-ringing must be included; the drawback is that the processed wet signal will play later than the unprocessed dry signal.
When using an impulse response which starts with an initial spike and has no leading samples, the spike can be quickly aligned to the dry signal by moving the offset control fully anticlockwise so that the response is shifted by exactly 512 samples to the right.

Convolution can be used to calculate the response of a system to arbitrary inputs by using the impulse response of a system.

An impulse response, when applied to audio, is the data recorded when a loudspeaker and/or room is excited with a very large amount of energy over a short period of time.
In the time domain, this means that the impulse response would be transferred through a system under test and emerge as an impulse response identical with what went in.

The impulse response is displayed in the top axis, the amplitude response in the middle and the phase response in the bottom axis.

Therefore to be able to calculate this response, the position of the source and receiver have to be defined.

So, to compute the impulse response we compute the response of a system with no input (so we get the homogeneous response) but with a different initial condition determined by the impulse.
Now, the question is "What does this have to do with the impulse response?" Earlier we noted that the effect of the impulse was to change the value of the derivative of the response immediately after the impulse occurred.
As in the impulse response, there are two special cases for the step response.

 COGS501 -- Impulse Responses and Convolutional Systems
Recall that an impulse (in the current context, anyhow) is a vector whose first element has the value 1 and all of whose subsequent elements are zero.
When the impulse response is of infinite duration (as it perfectly well can be in a linear shift-invariant system!), then this slogan remains mathematically true, but is of less practical value (unless the impulse response can be truncated without significant effect).
The goal of this section is to develop the basic material on impulse response and convolution in the style that is common in the digital signal processing literature in the discipline of Electrical Engineering, so as to help you become familiar with the type of notation that you are likely to encounter there.

An impulse response (IR) is what results when you feed an impulse to some system (see the sidebar “Impulse Response Glossary” for a list of terms commonly associated with convolution).
Impulse responses are surprisingly simple to record, but attention to detail is critical.
Although you can record the impulse response of nearly anything, the assumption is that the IR is reverberant in nature.
