Fourier transform of sinusoidal functions

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the Fourier transform of sinusoidal functions and the sinc function. The user expresses uncertainty about starting the problem but mentions the transform of a rectangular pulse and the relationship between sine and complex exponentials. They reference the duality property of Fourier transforms, suggesting they can apply it to their solution. The user attempts to derive the Fourier transform of a rectangular pulse and seeks clarification on sketching the resulting functions. The conversation highlights the connection between time and frequency domains in Fourier analysis.

Homework Equations


sinc(x) = \frac{sin(x)}{x}

The Attempt at a Solution


bit unsure how to get started?? i know transform of rectangular pulse pτ(t)=τ*sinc(τω/2∏)

also that sin(ωt)= ejωt-e-jωt / (2)

I could also probably sketch sinc(t/2∏), if that helps.

OK, so I guess I wasn't really thinking. There is duality property listed in my book, can I use that?

since x(t) ⇔ X(ω) then pτ(t)=τ*sinc(\frac{τω}{2\pi})

by duality X(t) ⇔ 2\pi*x(-ω) then τ*sinc(\frac{τt}{2\pi})=2\pipτ(ω)

so for a) it would be 2\pip1(ω). got this right at least? and how would i sketch this. would i be able to swap ω with t and just sketch the rectangular function p1(t) with amplitude 2\pi??
