AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around finding the Fourier transform of a rectangular pulse, w(t), with a focus on simplifying the solution. The user expresses confusion about a specific mathematical trick in the example provided, particularly during the second step of the process. They mention understanding the first step but struggle with how the coefficient "T" and the denominator are derived. The lack of attachments hinders assistance from others in the forum. Clarification on these steps is sought to improve understanding of the Fourier transform process.

Homework Statement




I have a rectangular train wave pulse, w(t). I needed to find the Fourier transform. My work can done can be seen in the attachment.

Homework Equations



My question is, is there a further way to simplify my solution.

The Attempt at a Solution

Homework Statement



I know I posted a similar question elsewhere, but the real problem I am having comes from an example I don't quite understand. There is some little math trick in it that I just don't understand.

The example can be seen in the attachment.

Homework Equations



I understand the first step, but some confusion arises during the second step.

The Attempt at a Solution



I know that the "e's" in the numerator can simplify to "sin(wT/2)*2*j, and that sin (x)/x is equal to Sa(x), but in the second step, I do not understand how the coeficient "T" and the denominator came to be.
