Homework Equations


sinc(x) = [itex]\frac{sin(x)}{x}[/itex]

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([itex]\frac{τω}{2\pi}[/itex])

by duality X(t) ⇔ 2[itex]\pi[/itex]*x(-ω) then τ*sinc([itex]\frac{τt}{2\pi}[/itex])=2[itex]\pi[/itex]pτ(ω)

so for a) it would be 2[itex]\pi[/itex]p1(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[itex]\pi[/itex]??
