What does it mean to find the steady state output in this case?
I have a given $h[n] = 0.96^n$ for $n \in \{0,1,...,119\}$ and a test signal $x[n] = \cos(0.05\pi n)$ for $n \in \{0,1,...,N_x -1\}$ where $N_x = 120,000$.
Now, I can analytically find the output $y[n]...

Chirped vs. unchirped pulse and Fourier Transform intuition
Suppose I have a gaussian impulse like in the picture below, given by
$$Ae^{t^2/\sigma^2}e^{j\omega_0 t}$$
I can do an FFT, add a quadratic phase to it and go back to the time domain. This will ...
