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.

What is the relation between step & impulse response?
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 difference between impulse and step response?
A step response is a straight up change in values, say from a level of 5 to a level 10 and the pattern holds at the new higher level. A series of step responses creates a staircase pattern. An impulse response is a spike similar at first to the step but it doesn't level off at the new level.
How do you determine impulse response from the step response?
Let's take the case of a discrete system. where h[n] is the impulse response of the system and u[n] is the unit step function. So we can see that unit step response is like an accumulator of all value of impulse response from −∞ to n. So now impulse response can be written as the first difference of step response.
What is the relationship between unit impulse unit step and unit ramp?
Relationship between Unit Ramp and Unit Step Signals
The unit ramp signal can be obtained by integrating the unit step signal with respect to time. In other words, a unit step signal can be obtained by differentiating the unit ramp signal.
