SUMMARY
The Fourier transform pair for the unit step function u(t) is established as πδ(ω) + 1/(jω). The transform pair for the function u(t) - u(t-1) is derived using the time-shift theorem, resulting in the expression [πδ(ω) + 1/(jω)] - [πδ(ω-1) + 1/(j(ω-1))]. This application of the time-shift theorem is crucial for accurately determining the Fourier transform of shifted functions.
