Definition: The impulse response of a system is the output of the system when the input is an impulse, δ(t), and all initial conditions are zero. Definition: The step response of a system is the output of the system when the input is a step, H(t), and all initial conditions are zero.

How do you convert impulse response to step response?
S = impulse2step( I , dt ) converts an impulse response I to a step response S , given the uniform sample interval dt .
Why is step response and impulse response the same?
Because the step response has a discontinuity in it (i.e., a step), and the impulse response is simply the derivative of the step response, this causes an impulse function as part of the impulse response.
What is the relationship between step and impulse signals *?
In discrete time the unit impulse is the first difference of the unit step, and the unit step is the run- ning sum of the unit impulse. Correspondingly, in continuous time the unit im- pulse is the derivative of the unit step, and the unit step is the running integral of the impulse.
What is the relation between step function and impulse function?
The unit step function is level in all places except for a discontinuity at t = 0. For this reason, the derivative of the unit step function is 0 at all points t, except where t = 0. Where t = 0, the derivative of the unit step function is infinite. The derivative of a unit step function is called an impulse function.
