Synthesizing arbitrary waveforms using convolution processors

A system for generating a synthesized waveform from a desired arbitrary waveform via a convolution processor, comprising:

• apparatus operable to provide a data stream input signal to the convolution processor comprising an extended duration impulse signal;
• apparatus operable to compute one or more filter coefficients of the convolution processor;
• and
• apparatus operable to generate the synthesized waveform substantially similar to the desired arbitrary waveform using the filter coefficients.

A machine-readable medium that provides instructions, which when executed by a computing platform, causes said computing platform to perform operations for generating a synthesized waveform from a desired arbitrary waveform via a convolution processor, comprising:

• providing a data stream input signal to the convolution processor comprising an extended duration impulse signal;
• computing one or more filter coefficients of the convolution processor;
• and
• generating the synthesized waveform substantially similar to the desired arbitrary waveform using the filter coefficients.
