Finding x[n] from Continuous Fourier Transform with Given Properties

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on finding the discrete sequence x[n] from its continuous Fourier transform X(e^{j\omega}) with specific properties. The sequence is defined as absolutely summable and zero for all n < 1. The real part of the Fourier transform is given by Re{X(e^{j\omega})} = (3/(2cos(ω) - 5/2)). The user seeks to evaluate the integral x_{e}[n] = (1/(2π))∫_{-π}^{π}((3/(2cos(ω) - 5/2))e^{jωn})dω to derive x[n], but encounters difficulties in solving the integral.

Hello everyone(my first post here), I hope I have posted in the right section...

Homework Statement



Given [tex]x[n][/tex] is a discrete stable(absolutely summable) sequence and its continuous Fourier transform [tex]X(e^{j\omega})[/tex] having the following properties:

[tex]x[n]=0, \ \ \ \forall n<1[/tex] and

[tex]Re\{X(e^{j\omega })\}=\frac{3}{2\cos \omega -\frac{5}{2}}, \ \ \ \forall \omega \in \mathbb{R}[/tex]

find [tex]\inline x[/tex] as good as possible(I don't know how to state this any better, basically one should find x if possible, if not a sequence that resembles x as good as possible)

Homework Equations



[tex]X(e^{j\omega})=\sum_{n\in \mathbb{Z}}^{ } x[n]e^{-j\omega n}, \ \ \ \forall \omega \in \mathbb{R };[/tex]

[tex]x[n]=\frac{1}{2\pi}\int_{-\pi}^{\pi} X(e^{j\omega})e^{j\omega n}d\omega,\ \ \ \forall n \in \mathbb{Z }.[/tex]

The Attempt at a Solution


It is straightforward to show that if

[tex]x_{e}[n] = \frac{x[n]+\overline{x[-n]}}{2}, \ \ \forall n \in \mathbb{Z}, \ \textup{then} \ X_{e}(e^{j\omega})= Re\{X(e^{j\omega})\}, \ \forall \omega \in \mathbb{R}[/tex]

Given the fact that [tex]x[n]=0, \forall n<1[/tex] by finding [tex]x_{e}[n][/tex] we can also find [tex]x[n][/tex]

By applying the inverse Fourier transform of [tex]X_{e}(e^{j\omega})[/tex] we obtain:

[tex]x_{e}[n] = \frac{1}{2\pi}\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}\frac{3}{2\cos \omega -\frac{5}{2}}\cdot e^{j\omega n}d\omega[/tex]

And at this point I'm stuck, i have no idea how to evaluate that integral(I've tried the usual tricks but none seem to work). Maybe the approach is not the best one, I don't know.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
