Abstract
We introduce in this chapter the concept of Dirac distribution. It is conceived as an infinitely brief pulse occurring at time zero. The Dirac distribution is a very powerful mathematical tool in signal analysis, especially in the Fourier transform. We present the notions of convolution product and of integral and derivatives of the Dirac distribution.
