Fourier transform of a lorentzian function

AI Thread Summary
The Fourier transform of a Lorentzian function results in a decaying oscillation, not another Lorentzian. In contrast, the Fourier transform of a Gaussian function remains a Gaussian. The discussion raises a question about whether the Fourier transform of the second derivative of a Lorentzian function also yields a second derivative of a Lorentzian. Participants suggest exploring theorems related to the Fourier transform of derivatives for further insights. Understanding these relationships is crucial for analyzing the behavior of these functions in frequency space.

hi

I know the Fourier transform of a lorentzian function is a lorentzian but i was wondering if the Fourier transform of the second derivation of a lorentzian function is also a second derivative of a lorentzian function

Thanks

The Fourier transform of a Lorentzian isn't a Lorentzian (its a decaying oscillation)

The Fourier transform of a Gaussian is a Gaussian, which is I guess what you mean?

Do you know any theorems about the Fourier transform of a derivative to help answer your other question?
 

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
