Perform the following tasks:


Nick Christman



(a) Show ℱ[∫−∞ts(λ)dλ]=S(f)j2πf if S(0)=0. HINT: S(0)=S(f)|f=0=∫−∞∞s(t)e−j2π(f→0)tdt=∫−∞∞s(t)dt




(b) If S(0)≠0 can you find ℱ[∫−∞ts(λ)dλ] in terms of S(0)?




(c) Do another property on the Wiki and get it reviewed (i.e. review a second property) -- Fourier Transform Properties

(i) Find ℱ[g(t−t0)ej2πf0t]

-- Using the above definition of complex modulation and the definition from class of a time delay (a.k.a "the slacker function"), I will attempt to show a hybrid of the two...

By definition we know that:

ℱ[g(t−t0)ej2πf0t]=∫−∞∞[g(t−t0)ej2πf0t]e−j2πftdt

Rearranging terms we get:

∫−∞∞[g(t−t0)ej2πf0t]e−j2πftdt=∫−∞∞g(t−t0)e−j2π(f−f0)tdt

Now lets make the substitution λ=t−t0→t=λ+t0.
This leads us to:

∫−∞∞g(t−t0)e−j2π(f−f0)tdt=∫−∞∞g(λ)e−j2π(f−f0)(λ+t0)dt

After some simplification and rearranging terms, we get:

∫−∞∞g(λ)e−j2π(f−f0)(λ+t0)dt=∫−∞∞g(λ)e−j2π(f−f0)λe−j2π(f−f0)t0dt

Rearranging the terms yet again, we get:

∫−∞∞g(λ)e−j2π(f−f0)λe−j2π(f−f0)t0dt=e−j2π(f−f0)t0[∫−∞∞g(λ)e−j2π(f−f0)λdt]

We know that the exponential in terms of t0 is simply a constant and because of the Fourier Property of complex modualtion, we finally get:

ℱ[g(t)ej2πf0t]=G(f−f0)e−j2π(f−f0)t0


(ii) I reviewed Max's second Fourier Transform property: ℱ[∫−∞∞g(t)h*(t)dt]

As near as I can tell, it all looks legitimate. I made one comment about adding an additional step to make the proof/identity more complete, but that was all that I could find.
