    Dtft Inverse
Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on finding the inverse DTFT of the expression i(d/dw)Y(eiw) in terms of the signal y[n]. Participants clarify that i(d/dw) acts as an operator that differentiates Y(eiw) with respect to w and then multiplies the result by i. The sifting property of the DTFT is referenced, emphasizing the relationship between Y(eiw) and y[n]. There is some confusion about the application of this operator in the context of the integral derived previously. Ultimately, understanding the operator's role is crucial for correctly applying it to find the inverse DTFT.

Homework Statement


There is a signal y[n] with a differentiable DTFT Y(eiw). Find the inverse DTFT of i(d/dw)Y(eiw) in terms of y[n] (where of course i = √-1).

Homework Equations


Sifting property ∫eiwndw = 2π*δ[n] from [-π,π] (integral a) leads to ∫Y(eiwn)dw = 2π*y[n] from [-π,π] (integral b) which I derived in a previous question.

The Attempt at a Solution


Not sure where to start as I don't actually understand what i(d/dw) is. Is it a transposition of some sort? How do I include i(d/dw) into integral b above? It isn't true that n = 1 in this case...is it? Am I perceiving this to be more complicated than it is?

i(d/dw) is simply an operator: it means differentiate w.r.t. w and multiply the result by i.

What is the distance between the tips at the moment when it is increasing most rapidly?(Putnam Exam Question) Answer: Making assumption that both the hands moves at constant angular velocities, the answer is ## \sqrt{7} .## But don't you think this assumption is somewhat doubtful and wrong?
