Homework Statement


find the Fourier transform of the following function in two ways , once using direct computation , and second using the convolution therom .

Homework Equations


JTbfgV4bPmqUm6G66
JTbfgV4bPmqUm6G66
Acos(w0t)/(d2+t2)

The Attempt at a Solution


I tried first to solve directly . used Euler's identity and got
∫e-it(w0+w)/(d2+t2) + ∫eit(w0-w)/(d2+t2)

but I think it was a deadend , unsolvable integral .

I got a hint from an internet source saying to use the Lorentzian transform but I am not familiar with it

then I tried going first from the convolution approach , which means I find the separate F transform of cos(w0t) and of 1/(d2+t2) and then calculate the convolution of them in order to get the FT of the multiplication oh them .

I couldn't do that as well because I didn't manage to integrate e-iwt/(d2+t2) and so can't find that Fourier transform as well

any direction ,or explained hint would be greatly appreciated!

This integral can be done using partial fractions, expanding the denominator as (d+t) * (d-t). It then gives a sum of terms of the exponential integral (Ei) function. Or you could just look it up.
