Fourier Transform of cosine and rect

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the Fourier Transform of the function f(x) = (1 + cos(2πx/w))rect2(x/w). The user applied Euler's formula to express the cosine function in terms of exponential functions, leading to the Fourier Transform result: F̂(k) = (δ(x) + δ(k - 1/W) + δ(k + 1/W))(w)sinc(πkw). The delta function (δ) and sinc function are crucial components in the analysis, indicating the frequency components of the signal.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Fourier Transform principles
  • Familiarity with Euler's formula
  • Knowledge of the rectangle function (rect)
  • Basic concepts of signal modulation in imaging studies
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the properties of the delta function in Fourier analysis
  • Learn about the sinc function and its applications in signal processing
  • Explore the implications of modulation in imaging techniques
  • Investigate the use of MATLAB for computing Fourier Transforms
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in signal processing, imaging studies, and applied mathematics who are looking to deepen their understanding of Fourier Transforms and their applications in real-world scenarios.

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
