Homework Statement



S(t) = S(0)e^{-i \pi f_{o}t} e^{-t/T^{*}_{2}}, 0 \leq t < \infty
S(t) = 0, t < 0

Show that the spectrum G(f) corresponding to this signal is given by:

G(f) = S(0) { \frac{T^{*}_{2}}{ 1 + [2 \pi (f- f_{o} )T^{*}_{2}]^{2}} + \frac{i2 \pi (f- f_{o} ) (T^{*}_{2})^{2}}{ 1 + [2 \pi (f- f_{o} )T^{*}_{2}]^{2}} }

Homework Equations


G(f) = \int^{\infty}_{- \infty} S(t) e^{i 2 \pi f t} dt

The Attempt at a Solution



G(f) = \int^{\infty}_{- \infty} S(t) e^{i 2 \pi f t} dt

= \int^{\infty}_{- \infty} S(0) e^{-i 2 \pi f_{o}t} e^{-t/T^{*}_{2}}e^{i 2 \pi f t} dt

= S(0) \int^{\infty}_{0} e^{i 2 \pi (f - f_{o})t} e^{-t/T^{*}_{2}} dt * S(t) is 0 when t is less than 0, so took integral from infity to 0. Took out S(0) and combined the exponents.

= S(0) \int^{\infty}_{0} e^{i 2 \pi (f - f_{o})t - t/T^{*}_{2}} dt *Combined the exponents

= S(0) \int^{\infty}_{0} e^{t[i 2 \pi (f - f_{o}) - 1/T^{*}_{2}]} dt *factored out t. Now all the stuff in the square brackets are basically a constant.

= S(0) [ \frac{e^{t[i 2 \pi (f - f_{o}) - 1/T^{*}_{2}]}}{i 2 \pi (f - f_{o}) - 1/T^{*}_{2}} ]^{\infty}_{0} *This is what I get after integrating. But as t goes to infinity, so does the fraction. Which I think makes sense since its a continuous spectrum. So maybe integrating from 0 to T2*? That way it looks like I am getting closer to the answer. Is my integration wrong?

Nevermind, I got it.
 
Hello everyone, I’m considering a point charge q that oscillates harmonically about the origin along the z-axis, e.g. $$z_{q}(t)= A\sin(wt)$$ In a strongly simplified / quasi-instantaneous approximation I ignore retardation and take the electric field at the position ##r=(x,y,z)## simply to be the “Coulomb field at the charge’s instantaneous position”: $$E(r,t)=\frac{q}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}}\frac{r-r_{q}(t)}{||r-r_{q}(t)||^{3}}$$ with $$r_{q}(t)=(0,0,z_{q}(t))$$ (I’m aware this isn’t...
Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
