Fourier Transform of integral of a signal

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the continuous time Fourier Transform of an input signal, specifically the relationship between the integral of a signal and its Fourier Transform representation. It establishes that the integral of the signal, represented as \(\int_{-\infty}^{t}x(\tau)d\tau\), transforms to \(\frac{X(j\omega)}{j\omega} + \pi X(0)\delta(\omega)\). When converting to frequency \(f\), the term \(\pi\) is replaced by \(\frac{1}{2}\) due to the relationship \(\delta(\omega) = \delta(2\pi f) = \frac{1}{2\pi}\delta(f)\).

Hi. I have a question regarding the continuous time Fourier Transform of an input signal:

[tex]x(t) \rightarrow X(j\omega)[/tex]

then

[tex]\int_{-\infty}^{t}x(\tau)d\tau \rightarrow \frac{X(j\omega)}{j\omega} + \pi X(0)\delta(\omega)[/tex]

but if I want to write it in terms of [itex]f = \frac{\omega}{2\pi}[/itex], should it be:

[tex]\int_{-\infty}^{t}x(\tau)d\tau \rightarrow \frac{X(j\omega)}{j\omega} + \frac{1}{2}X(0)\delta(f)[/tex]

How does the [itex]\pi[/itex] get replaced by [itex]\frac{1}{2}[/itex] here?

How does the [itex]\pi[/itex] get replaced by [itex]\frac{1}{2}[/itex] here?[/QUOTE]

For [itex]a>0[/itex], what does [itex]\delta (ax )[/itex] equal? Why?
 
Oh ok, so

[itex]\delta(\omega) = \delta(2\pi f) = \frac{1}{2\pi}\delta(f)[/itex]

Thanks :cool:
