    Sampling Continuous-Time Signal

    Hi milesyoung. That's FT pair from my book. Is it wrong? I found time shifting property in my book: if function is $$f(t\pm t_0)$$, FT is $$e^{\pm jw_0t_0}F(jw)$$. So FT of time shifted term would be $$e^{\pm jw(\frac{\pi}{2}+\theta)} F(jw) $$, right?

    Sampling Continuous-Time Signal

    This would be (hopefully) amplitude spectrum of first and second term of input signal:

    Sampling Continuous-Time Signal

    [FONT=Georgia]This my homework: Input signal to system is: where H(exp(jw)) is transfer function of ideal low pass filter with cutoff frequency wg=3*pi/4 and zero phase characteristic. Sampling in A/D converter is done with period T=(1/125) seconds. a) Calculate output signal ya(t) b)...

    How Are Step Functions Used in Calculating Fourier Transforms?

    Here is how I tried to solve this algebraically. We have function u(n+N)-u(n-(N+1)). Let's say N is some positive number, for example N=1. 1. When n is less then -N, for example n=-2, we have u(n+N)-u(n-(N+1))=0-0=0. 2. When -N<n<N+1 , for example n=-0.5, we have u(n+N)-u(n-(N+1))=1-0=1. 3. When...

    Fourier transform - why we need it?

    Thanks for reply. One more thing. Let's say I have some circuit with nonperiodic voltage source and I want to find response of some component in circuit, for example voltage across component. Using Fourier transform I should "convert" my excitation from time domain to frequency domain, find...

    How Are Step Functions Used in Calculating Fourier Transforms?

    Hi. Here is one example from my book. Calculate Fourier transform of signal: Here is solution: We can write x(n) as: , where x1(n) is u(n+N)-u(n-N-1). We can write: (we used that cos(n)=(1/2)*(exp(j*n)+exp(-j*n)). Using properties of Fourier transform of discrete signal: , Fourier...

    Fourier transform - why we need it?

    Hi. I'm familiar with Fourier series but I have some hard times in learning Fourier transform. Why we use it? What's purpose of Fourier transform? Here is one signal and plot of Fourier transform of that signal: What this graph tells us? Thanks in advance.
