        | Term 
 | Definition 
 
        | The sum of every sample of the input signal, multiplied by the sum of every sample of the impulse, added together, produces a convolved signal. 
 -Convolved signals will be either scaled or delayed
 
 -The output of the convolved signal should be N+M-1, where the length of output signal is one sample shorter than the sum of the lengths of the two convolved signals put together.

        | Term 
 | Definition 
 
        | 1) Two signals are convolved together in the time domain 2) An FFT occurs to bring the two signals into the frequency domain
 3) They are multiplied together; essentially convolving them
 4) An IFFT occurs to bring the convolved signal back into the time domain.
