Homework Statement
Hi there!
I'm just trying to figure out the Fourier transform of the hyperbolic secant function... I already know the outcome:
4[itex]\sum\ ((-1)^n*(1+2n))/(ω^2*(2n+1)^2) [/itex]
But sadly, I cannot figure out how to work round to it! :( maybe one of you could help me...
Homework Equations
I was thinking of using the geometric series 1/(1+q) = [itex]\sum (-q)^n [/itex] for q = e^(-2*x), as the hyperbolic secant is 2*e^(-x)/(1+e^(-2*x)) .
And then you need to multiply the hyperbolic secant with e^(iωt) and integrate from -∞
up to ∞.
But... frankly, that was it. I have never managed to come to the result
4[itex]\sum\ ((-1)^n*(1+2n))/(ω^2*(2n+1)^2) [/itex]
Maybe someone could give me a hint to to solve this problem...? :)
Lots of greetings,
Marie
