Homework Statement


Just wanted to check if I did the Fourier transform of a somewhat long function correctly


Homework Equations



f(x) = (1+cos([tex]\frac{2pix}{w}[/tex]))rect2([tex]\frac{x}{w}[/tex])
they're not convolutions, just a modulation equation used in imaging studies
'rect' is rectangle function

The Attempt at a Solution


Euler's formula used to substitute in for cos(ax) with ((e^(iax) + e^(-iax)))/2
i=imaginary
the resultant Fourier Transform:

[tex]\hat{F}[/tex](k) = ([tex]\delta[/tex](x)+([tex]\delta[/tex](k-[tex]\frac{1}{W}[/tex])+[tex]\delta[/tex](k+[tex]\frac{1}{W}[/tex])))(w)sinc([tex]\pi[/tex]kw)

where '[tex]\delta[/tex]' stands for the delta function

Thanks in advance for the help
