Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around the application of the Fourier transform and convolution, specifically involving Dirac functions. Participants are examining the correctness of a result related to convolution as presented in a problem set.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants are attempting to perform convolution between two functions, E2.10 and E2.11, to verify the result E2.13. Questions arise regarding the presence of a factor of 1/4 in the result, with some participants expressing confusion about their calculations and the possibility of a typo in the problem statement.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants sharing their attempts at convolution and questioning specific elements of the problem. Some guidance is offered regarding the convolution process, but there is no explicit consensus on the correctness of the results or the presence of errors in the problem set.

Contextual Notes

Participants note potential missing information or errors in the problem statement, particularly concerning the factor of 1/4 in the result E2.13, which is under scrutiny.

Hi everyone,
I uploaded a solution about Fourier transform. At the solution of this problem, it states that make convolution. But i tried to do convolution but my result is not same with this result. When you do the convolution with 2.10 and 2.11, is the result 2.13 correct ? How is it done ? :S I am so confused.

i really don't understand the basis of this problem

but from what you have posted if E2.9 to E2.12 is the way it is then E2.13 should be right

did you do the convolution of 2.10 with 2.11?
 
I try to do the convolution. But i think at E2.13 there shouldn't be 1/4. Maybe i do something wrong.
I said E2.10 x(f)
Then E2.11 y(f)

x(f)*y(f)=int(x(z).y(f-z)dz) right ? this is the convolution
so i put E2.11 into the integral. And i subsitute f to f-z the formula becomes
\frac{1}{2}int(\frac{1}{\frac{1}{2}+j2.pi.f}.[dirac(f-50-z)+dirac(f+50-z)]dz

then f-50-z=0 df=dz
z=f-50
i computed the integral than put z into these formula. But 1/4 not coming from there. Maybe i did something wrong
 
oops i don't get that 1/4 either, may be it is some typo in that sheet
