Discrete Time Fourier Transform

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on finding the Discrete Time Fourier Transform (DTFT) of the function h[n]=(-1)^{n}sin(\frac{\pi}{2}n)/sin(\pi n). Participants highlight the useful properties of DTFT, particularly the convolution property and the transformation of the sinc function into a rectangular function in the frequency domain. A key concern is the non-convergence of the DTFT due to the alternating term (-1)^{n}, which complicates the analysis. The conversation seeks clarification on how to handle this term effectively. Overall, the thread emphasizes the challenges of computing the DTFT in this context.

Find the DTFT of:

h[n]=(-1)^{n}\frac{sin(\frac{\pi}{2}n}{sin(\pi n}

useful properties:

x[n]y[n] --> X[Ω]*Y[Ω]

\frac{sin(\frac{\pi}{2}n}{sin(\pi n} --> rect[\frac{2Ω}{\pi}


I have no clue how to deal with the (-1)^{n}[\itex] the DTFT of that doesn&#039;t converge. . .<br /> <br /> any help would be appreciated

<br /> Why do you say that?
