Just experimenting, I noticed if w = 3, width = 2 then
(2/w)*sin(2*w/2) is ALMOST the same as (2.pi/w)*sin(2*w/2.pi),
so you seem right about it being a notational thing, but what I can't understand is that the one with the pi in it seems more accurate because in one instance the number was finite and the other kept going. Can you see why this would be?

Not sure what you're getting at here.

In the below, where on Earth did you get that equation? You're apparently trying to do an inverse transform on sin(wt)?? On a function containing t ?

H'mm, I'm still not clear, I'll elaborate on where I got stuck:

x(t) = (1/2pi)* ∫ (exp(jwt)-exp(-jwt) /2j)*exp(jwt) dw -∞ to ∞

Cheers for any input!

I think I need to go to bed! :uhh:
Cheers!

[I was saying
(2/w)*sin(2*w/2) ≈ (2.pi/w)*sin(2*w/2.pi)
for reasons I cannot reckon]

Woops, good call, it should have been 't'less, I.e:
x(t) = (1/2pi)* ∫ (exp(jw)-exp(-jw) /2j)*exp(jwt) dw -∞ to ∞


Heh, heh, fairenough, Night.

Why are you trying to determine F-1{(sin(w)} anyway? Its inverse is not at all a common time function ...

If I had to do it I would study the way sin(wt) was transformed, then try to apply that technique to the inversion integral.
